• Do not allow drive shaft to hang down without support for joint sub-assembly, shaft and the

other parts.

8. Use the Tool (A) and suitable tool (B) while inserting tip of the

drive shaft attachment between shaft and reduction gear assem-

bly, and then remove drive shaft from reduction gear assembly.

CAUTION:

• Do not place drive shaft joint at an extreme angle when

removing drive shaft. Also be careful not to overextend

slide joint.

• Confirm that the circular clip is attached to the drive shaft.
