Inspection and Repair
Inspect the removed parts. If there are abnormalities
such as wear and damage, take corrective action or
replace.
Visual Check
1. Check and see if the inner shaft has any
abnormalities such as wear and damage.
412RW014
2. When inspecting the inner shaft, be sure to check and
see if its splined part is twisted, worn, or cracked. If so,
replace with a new shaft. In case of an abnormality in
its gear part (a slide with sleeve), replace the shaft.

Inner Shaft Run±Out
With both end centers supported, rotate the shaft slowly
and measure deflection with a dial gauge.
Limit: 0.5 mm (0.02 in)max.
NOTE: Do not heat the shaft to correct its bend.
