Figure 3.4
Shorten drive tubes by the required length. In normal
conditions, telescopic tubes must always overlap by
at least a ½ of their length. During manoeuvres,
when the driveline is not rotating, the telescopic tubes
must have a suitable overlap to maintain the tubes
aligned and allow them to slide properly. See Section
3.3.2.
Figure 3.5
Carefully deburr the ends of the tubes with a file and
remove any chippings from the tubes.
Figure 3.6
Shorten shield tubes one at a time by cutting the
same length that was cut from the drive tubes.
Figure 3.7
Grease the internal drive tube. Reassemble the shield
on the driveshaft.
