Servicing the PTO Driveshaft Cross and Bearing (continued)
Chassis: Service and Repairs
4. Install new cross and bearings as follows:
A. Apply a coat of grease to the bearing bores of the end yoke and
shaft yoke. Also, apply grease to the bearings and seal of the bearing
assembly.
Note: Ensure that all the bearing rollers are correctly seated in the
bearing cage.
B. Press 1 bearing partially into the yoke.
When installing the cross into the bearing, ensure that you do
not damage the bearing seal.
C. Carefully insert the cross into the bearing and yoke.
D. Hold the cross in alignment and press the bearing in until it hits the yoke.
E. Carefully position the second bearing into the yoke bore and onto the
cross shaft. Press the bearing into the yoke.
F. Install the 4 snap rings to the bearings to secure the bearings in place.
G. Repeat the procedure for the other yoke.
H. Apply grease to the cross until it comes out of all the 4 bearing cups.
I. Ensure that the assembled joint moves without any binding. Lightly rap
the yoke lugs with a soft-faced hammer to remove slight binding. If the
binding continues, disassemble the joint to identify the source of binding.
