DRIVE SHAFT
REMOVAL
If the drivershaft came out of the swing arm attach·
ed to the final gear case, do the following:
Insert the axle through the gear case and secure the
case in a vise with soft jaws or shop rags by clamp-
ing the axle. Place the shock mount between the
jaws for stability.
Place an oil drain pan under the damper case to
catch the damper oil that will spill out.
Separate the damper unit from the gear case by
gently revolving the damper in a circular motion
while tugging slightly.
After removing the damper unit from the gear case,
remove and discard the outer stop ring that lies in
the groove on the splined end of the damper. This
ring serves as an aid in mass production, and should
not be installed when the final drive is reassembled.

Remove the large spring clip from the damper cam
to avoid damaging it.
