the whole sDlined surface of the intermediate shaft.
After applying grease. remove the grease from the
splined grooves at intervals of 2 - 3 splines and from
the set ring groove so air can bleed from the inboard
ioint.
SET RINGReplace.
SET RING
Install a new set ring onto the driveshaft or interme-
diate shaft groove.
4. Clean the areas where the driveshaft contacts the
differential thoroughly with solvent or carburetor
cleaner, and dry with compressed air. Insert the
