ASSEMBLY
During assembly, ensure that the alignment
marks on the link yoke and propeller shaft
yoke are aligned.
(1) Apply extreme pressure (EP) N.L.G.I. Grade 1
or 2 grease to inside of yoke bores to aid in installa-
tion.
(2) Fit a cross into the propeller shaft yoke (Fig. 27).
(3) Place a bearing cap over the trunnion and
align the cap with the yoke bore (Fig. 28). Keep the
needle bearings upright in the bearing assembly. A
needle bearing lying at the bottom of the cap will
prevent proper assembly.
(4) Press the bearing cap into the yoke bore
enough to install a snap ring (Fig. 29).
(5) Install a snap ring.
