Propeller Shafts: 3D-12
b. If the transmission or transfer case output shaft
bushing is found to be worn or damaged, the
bushing must be replaced before proceeding.
c. If the transmission or transfer case output shaft
bushing was replaced; re-measure and record
the runout of the prop shaft at the same locations
measured previously.
d. Compare the prop shaft runout re-measurements
recorded to the runout tolerance specifications.
e. If the prop shaft runout re-measurements still
exceed runout tolerances at the same location or
at the stub shaft, if part of the front shaft, the
prop shaft requires replacement before
proceeding. Check the runout of the replacement
prop shaft.
f. If the transmission or transfer case output shaft
bushing was not found to be worn or damaged,
the prop shaft requires replacement before
proceeding. Check the runout of the replacement
prop shaft.
12. If the prop system has a U-joint at the drive axle
pinion or torque tube input flange, and if the prop
shaft runout measurements exceed runout tolerance
specifications for that prop shaft at that location, or at
the stub shaft if part of the rear shaft, perform the
following:
a. Mark the mating position for each end of the prop
shaft, then remove the shaft from the pinion
input, or torque tube input flange.
b. Rotate the shaft 180 degrees from its original
position.
c. Reinstall the shaft to the pinion or torque tube
input flange.
d. Re-measure and record the runout of the shaft at
the same locations measured previously.
e. Compare the shaft runout re-measurements
recorded to the runout tolerance specifications.
f. If any of the runout re-measurements still exceed
runout tolerances, perform the following:
i.
Inspect the pinion or torque tube input flange
runout to determine if it is affecting the runout
of the prop shaft. Refer to the appropriate
procedure: “Torque Tube Input Flange
Runout Measurement”, “Pinion Flange
Runout Measurement”, or “Differential Pinion
Input Shaft Runout Measurement”.
ii. If the pinion or torque tube input flange
runout exceeds runout tolerances, the flange
must be re-indexed or replaced to bring the
runout within tolerances before proceeding.
iii. If the pinion or torque tube input flange was
re-indexed or replaced, return the prop shaft
to its original relationship when reinstalling
the shaft to the flange.
iv. If the first measurement of pinion or torque
tube input flange runout was within
tolerances, the prop shaft requires
replacement. Check the runout of the
replacement prop shaft.
v. If the pinion or torque tube input flange was
re-indexed or replaced, re-measure and
record the runout of the shaft at the same
locations measured previously.
vi. Compare the shaft runout re-measurements
recorded to the runout tolerance
specifications.
vii. If any of the runout re-measurements still
exceed the runout tolerances, remove and
rotate the shaft 180 degrees from it's original
position to the pinion or torque tube input
flange that has been re-indexed or replaced.
viii. Reinstall the shaft then re-measure and
record the runout of the shaft at the same
locations measured previously.
ix. Compare the shaft runout re-measurements
recorded to the runout tolerance
specifications.
x. If any of the shaft runout re-measurements
still exceed the runout tolerances, the shaft
requires replacement. Check the runout of
the replacement prop shaft.
13. For 2-piece prop systems; if the prop shaft runout
measurements at the welded yoke mating to the slip
yoke exceed runout tolerance specifications for that
prop shaft at that location, perform the following:
a. If the stub shaft is keyed to ensure proper
alignment of the slip yoke, then the prop shaft
requires replacement.
b. If the stub shaft is not keyed, mark the mating
position for each end of the prop shaft, then
remove the slip yoke from the stub shaft.
c. Rotate the shaft 180 degrees from it's original
position.
d. Reinstall the slip yoke to the stub shaft.
e. Re-measure and record the runout of the shaft at
the welded yoke to slip yoke location.
f. Compare the shaft runout re-measurements
recorded to the runout tolerance specifications.
g. If the prop shaft runout re-measurements still
exceed runout tolerances at the welded yoke
mating to slip yoke location, the prop shaft
requires replacement. Check the runout of the
replacement prop shaft.
