Note
|
|
This measurement procedure is intended to measure torque tube runout for systems with a constant velocity (CV) joint, rubber coupling or bolt-on U-joint yoke at the torque tube.
|
|
1.
|
Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.
|
|
3.
|
If equipped with a CV joint, measure the torque tube input flange radial runout on the machined surface of the prop shaft rear CV joint housing, as close to the flange as possible:
|
|
|
3.1.
|
Clean the surface of the prop shaft rear CV joint housing just ahead of the torque tube input flange.
|
|
|
3.2.
|
Mount a dial indicator set,
GE-7872
Magnetic Base Dial Indicator Set , or equivalent, and position the dial indicator to contact the prop shaft rear CV joint housing as close to the torque tube input flange as possible.
|
|
4.
|
If equipped with a rubber coupling or bolt-on U-joint yoke, measure the torque tube input flange radial runout on the machined surface of the flange pilot area:
|
|
|
4.1.
|
Mark the position of the prop shaft to the torque tube input flange.
|
|
|
4.2.
|
Separate the propshaft from the torque tube input flange.
|
|
|
4.3.
|
Clean the surface of the flange pilot area.
|
|
|
4.4.
|
Mount a dial indicator set,
GE-7872
Magnetic Base Dial Indicator Set , or equivalent, and position the dial indicator to contact the pilot area as close to the end of the pilot as possible.
|
|
5.
|
Rotate the torque tube input flange by hand to locate the low spot.
|
|
6.
|
Set the dial indicator to zero on the low spot.
|
|
7.
|
Rotate the flange by hand and record the amount of radial runout.
|
|
8.
|
Compare the runout of the flange to the runout tolerance specifications guideline.
|
|
9.
|
If the torque tube input flange runout exceeds the specification, the flange requires replacement.
