PROPELLER SHAFT AND
HALF SHAFTS
These units are manufactures by Messrs. Hardy Spicer to exceedingly
fine limits and are balanced to give freedom from vibration at all speeds.
The needle type universal joints will give long and satisfactory service
provided normal servicing is given, including greasing. Three such
greasing points are provided on each wheel drive shaft, one on each spider
and one on the slip splined joint. Two are provided on the propeller shaft
spiders. Lubrication is best carried out when the car is raised from the
ground and positioning of the shaft is necessary to allow the grease gun
to be applied. Attention every 2,000-3,000 miles willsuffice.
Messrs. Hardy Spicer provide replacement Universal Joint Sets, these
consisting of a spider, four bearing races with needle rollers and snap rings.
In dismantling the Universal Joint observe the positions, this is so that
the yokes may be assembled in their original balance order.
Remove the spring clips and push or drive the spider to one side, this
will allow the race and needle bearing to come away. Reverse the proce-
dure to remove the other bearing. The spider with one end of the yoke
can then be removed. This procedure should be repeated to release the
spider itself.
In assembly, apply grease to retain the needles in the races and observe
that the sliding yoke is fitted to the correct splines. The yoke arms being
in line with each other.
