Reassembly of the propeller shaft

structed in Section 6.

clean if dirty. See Par. 1-10.
To clean the element, carefully
remove from the mesh support,
wash in kerosene and squeeze out.
CAUTION: T a k e precautions
against the possibility of fire.
Do not wring the element or it
may be torn. Wrap the element
in a dry cloth and squeeze to re-
move all possible solvent.
Oil the element liberally with en-
gine oil and squeeze to evenly
distribute the oil through the ele-

only damp with oil, not dripping.
Reinstall the element on the mesh
support taking care to have the
edges of the element over the
support to affect a good seal. See
Figure 1-14. Clean any oil or
accumulated dirt out of the air
cleaner housing before installing
element.
NOTE: If the element becomes
damaged, replace with AC Type
A96C or equivalent on LeSabres
and AC Type A202C on all other
models except those equipped with
Super Wildcat engines.
