19) Removing Drive Shaft Ass'y

1. Remove pinion (B) gear nut
(B) gear 3 and drive shaft.
· Degrease pinion (B) gear nut completely so that
the nut wrench does not slip on the nut.
· Loosen and remove the nut by using a drive
shaft socket and a wrench and turning the
wrench counterclockwise. Cover the wrench 2
with rag to prevent it from hitting the case
directly.
· This work can be made easier when the opening
of gear case of propeller shaft side is faced
upward and fixed horizontally with a holder.
