Drive flange/driveshaft radial

identifying

Bolt M10 x 85
Notes:
Radial deviation must always be measured,
when the torque tube is removed. Apply a new
color marking and remove the old one.
If a new driveshaft is installed and the color
marking on the drive flange of the final drive is
no longer visible, the location of the largest
radial deviation must be determined and
identified with a color marking.
This color marking is then matched with the
color marking on the driveshaft Page 39
