Universal Joint Companion Flanges
•
Make sure the companion flanges are pulled tightly into place with the retaining nuts. Failure to tighten the retaining nuts,
or omission of parts between flanges and bearings will premit the shafts to move axially, with resultant damage to the
pilot bearing, mainshaft, and drive gear.
•
When installing the companion flanges, tighten the retaining nuts with 400-450 lbs. ft. of torque if elastic stop nut is used.
With slotted type nut, use 250 to 300 lbs. ft. of torque. Make sure the speedometer gear has been installed between the
rear flange and the bearing. If the speedometer gear is not used, a replacement spacer of the same width must be used.
Make sure the speedometer gear washer is installed between the speedometer gear and bearing.
