TYPICAL
1. Drive shaft adapter
NOTE: Make sure all spark plugs are removed
from engine.
12. Removing spark plugs helps to engage
threads more easily thus preventing
cross-threading the sealing ring.
Carefully rotate drive shaft counterclockwise (LH
threads) to engage threads in sealing ring. Be
careful not to engage cross-thread.

TYPICAL
1. Drive shaft wrench
15. While a coworker holds the drive shaft wrench
in engine compartment, continue turning drive
shaft
counterclockwise (LH threads) to a total
of 8 turns.
16. IMPORTANT: The number of turns is only a
reference to give you an idea of the drive shaft
engagement in the sealing ring. It is useful if
you suspect cross-threading. When the num-
ber of turns has been reached, the torque is
mandatory to properly secure the drive shaft.
