Inspection on Drive Shaft Parts
1. Cross shaft bearing inspection
Check the wear or damage situation of the cross shaft bearing
and change the weary or damaged bearing where necessary.
2. Check the wear and damage situation of the central
bearing.
Check the bearing to see whether it can run freely.
In case that the bearing is damaged or wearied or cannot run
freely, change it in time.

5. Snapping ring mount
(a) Mount two snapping rings with the same thickness.
Remarks: Do not use the used snapping ring.
(b) Tap the universal joint yoke lightly with a hammer until
there is no clearance between the outer bearing race and
the snapping ring.
6. Cross shaft bearing inspection
Check the cross shaft bearing to see whether it can run freely
Remarks: the approach for mounting the cross shaft bearing at
the bearing end is the same.
(c) Encase the new cross shaft in the universal joint yoke.
(d) Mount the new bearing on the cross shaft with SST tool,
