4. Tear down the front universal joint flange fork of the front
drive shaft.
(a) Hang he front end of the front axle drive shaft.
(b) Label the assembly mark on the flange
(c) Take apart the four sets of bolt and nut.
5. Disconnect the rear universal joint flange fork from the
front axel drive shaft along the transmission path.
(a) Label the assembly marks on each flange.
(b) Take apart the four sets of bolt and nut.
Drive shaft disassembly
1. Separation of the rear joint of the rear axle drive shaft
from the front joint of rear axle drive shaft
(a) Label the assembly marks on each flange.
(b) Take apart the four sets of bolt and nut.
2. Take apart the center support bearing from the front joint
of the rear axle drive shaft.
(a) Loosen the riveted nut by chiseling with a chisel and
hammer.

3. Take apart the universal joint yoke from the rear joint of
rear axle drive shaft.
(a) Label the universal joint yoke and the shaft with assem-
bly marks.
(b) Pull out the universal joint yoke from the shaft.
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.

A4. Inspection for the drive shaft lubrication
If the drive shaft is not lubricated completely, add the Lithium
base lubricant grease with SST.
Cross bearing change
1. Label the shaft and universal joint yoke with assembly
marks.
2. Take apart the snapping ring.
(a) Tap in the outer bearing race lightly.
(b) Take apart the four snapping rings in the grooves with
two screwdrivers.
3. Take apart the cross shaft bearing
(a) Pull out the bearing from the drive shaft with SST tools.
Remarks: Pull up the part A in the drawing to a enough height
so that it cannot contact the bearing.

(c) Mount the two outer bearing races that are taken apart on
the cross shaft.
(d) Pull out the bearing on the universal joint yoke with SST
tool, and (b) Grip the outer bearing race with a vice to tap out the drive
shaft lightly with a hammer.
Remarks: Take apart another bearing with the same approach.
4. Cross shaft bearing mount
(a) Coat the lithium base grease on the cross shaft and the
bearing.
Remarks: do not over coat the lubricant.
(b) Align the assembly marks on the universal yoke and on
the shaft. (e) Grip the outer bearing race in the vice and tap lightly out
the universal joint yoke with a hammer.
Remarks: the bearing at the other end may be taken apart with
the same approach.
