MAIN CV DRIVELINE SAFETY SHIELD
Protective Driveline Shields should be installed on Drivelines as shown in Figure Mnt-R-0218 below. The
protective Integral Shields are assembled onto nylon bearings and should turn freely. Push the locking lug of
the nylon bearing into the slot until it snaps into place.
Do not overfill. If gearboxes are filled above Test Plug Level, pressure under working
conditions may cause Grease Seals to leak.
To remove shields or replace shield bearing pry open yellow lock tabs. Insert screwdriver between shield cone
and white bearing. Rotate tab of shield bearing over to yellow tab location. Pull on shield to remove. Bearing is
split and can be removed from yoke. To install shield reverse steps. Insert shield over bearing tube noting that
tabs must be where yellow tabs are located. Rotate shield tab until yellow tab can be pushed into place and it
locks there.
WING DRIVELINE SHIELD
The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly
has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication every 8
hours. To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or repair, turn the three Nylon Nuts 1/4 turn in the Shield
Slots of the Cone and Tube and remove them. Slip the Shield Cone Assembly off inner section of the Driveline.
Install the new or repaired Shield on the Driveline. Place the split Nylon Bearing over the Driveline Housing of
Shaft against the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into
the Shield Bearing Retainer. Align a slot in the Shield Cone with one of the slots in the Shield. Put one of the
Nylon Nuts back in through the aligned slots and turn until it is perpendicular to the slots. Add the other two
Nylon Nuts.
.Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
