Install the propeller shaft intermediate support so that the distance D (pic. 11–4) from base to bodyA was the same on both sides. Measure this distance and, depending on the distance, select the thickness of the shims:
Adjustment of the axial position of the cardan shaft
Using tool 3139, move as far as possible cardan shaft to the main reverse gear.
Pic. 11–5. The location of the center of the hole for the bolts of the intermediate support of the cardan shaft at various positions of the cardan shaft
In this position, mark the position of the center of the hole for the bolts of the intermediate support of the cardan shaft (arrow A, fig. 11–5).
Using tool 3139, move as far as possible cardan shaft to the gearbox.
In this position of the cardan shaft, re-mark the position of the center of the hole for the bolts of the intermediate support of the cardan shaft (arrow B, see fig. 11–5).
Move the cardan shaft along the axis to a position in which the holes for the bolts of the intermediate support of the cardan shaft will be in the middle of the previously made marks (arrow C, see fig. 11–5).
Install shims of the selected thickness and bolt the propeller shaft intermediate support.
Remove tool 3139 from propeller shaft.
Install the driveshaft tunnel.
Install a heat shield over the cardan shaft.
Check that the exhaust system is located freely and does not touch the body.
