MAINTENANCE
Driveline Shields/Slip Clutch Service
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 (Figure Mnt-0005). This nylon
bearing should not require lubrication at any time.
To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or
repair, press the three Snap Ring Lugs out of Shield
Slots by inserting a screwdriver into each slot one at
a time, and pull the Shield off the Driveline. Install
the new or repaired Shield on the Driveline. Place
the Snap Ring and Thrust washer over the Driveline
Housing or Shaft so the Snap Ring is against the
yoke. Place the Nylon Bearing in the Bearing
groove. Place the Flat end of the shield over the
Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into the Shield
Bearing Retainer. Align the slot in the Snap Ring
with one of the slots in the Shield. With the
screwdriver, push the other two lugs into the slots.
Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
Torque Limiter (CY72)
Avoid overheating of the Torque Limiter by too long or too frequent slipping, as this can damage the friction
plates and limiter parts. When checking Torque Limiter for overheating, DO NOT touch with hand. Torque
Limiter could be extremely hot and cause severe burn.
If an adjustment is required, this may be done in the field by following the procedure outlined below. Following
these instructions will give maximum rated torque and long life (Figure Mnt-0006):
1. With the three Capscrews (#8) backed out until the points are below the surface of the circular
Adjusting Nut (#7), run Adjusting Nut up finger-tight, or slightly less than finger-tight.
2. Alternately tighten the hardened, cup point Capscrews (#8) no more than one-half turn at a time until
the Capscrew heads "Bottom Out". Do not over tighten the Capscrews nor completely flatten the
Spring Washers (#5).
If the Hub is removed from the Shaft for any reason, the Shaft and Hub should be coated with a heavy grease
before reassembly to prevent Hub from freezing to Shaft.
