Output Shaft: Service and Repair

Fig.10:

To remove an output shaft it is necessary to detach the inboard end of the drive shaft, the forward attachment of the radius rod, and to remove the brake caliper and disc (1, Fig.10).

Cut locking wire and remove five set bolts (2, Fig.10) securing caliper mounting flange to final drive. Withdraw complete output shaft assembly and discard 'O' ring (3, Fig.10).

Before fitting, ensure that four bolts (4, Fig.10) are in position, and that new 'O' ring (3, Fig.10) is fitted. Lightly oil splines and outside of bearing with final drive oil, insert assembly, fit bolts with spring washers, tighten to 8.4 to 9.66 kgf/m (60 to 69 lbf/ft), tightening the bolt nearest to the input flange first, and wire lock bolt heads together so that wire tension is tending to tighten bolts.

Replace brake caliper and disc as described in Disc Brake System.

Check camber angle of rear wheels, and adjust if necessary.
