1. Wipe the bearing surface of the midship tube shaft
with a fine emery cloth.
2. Install a new slinger (included in the center bearing
replacement parts kit) on the midship tube shaft,
using a section of tubing to avoid damaging the
slinger. Make sure the slinger is completely seated
against the midship tube shaft shoulder.
3. When replacing a center bearing assembly, be sure
to fill the entire cavity around the bearing with a
waterproof lubricant. Enough lubricant must be
applied to fill the cavity to the extreme edge of the
slinger surrounding the bearing. Refer to the below
table
.
Recommended Center Bearing Lubricants
4. Carefully align the new center bearing assembly with
the ground surface of the midship tube shaft. Physi-
cally push the center bearing onto the midship tube
shaft. Minimal force should be necessary to push the
center bearing onto the midship tube shaft provided
the shaft and bearing are in alignment.
5. Press the remaining slinger on the midship tube
shaft using a section of tubing to avoid damaging the
slinger.
6. Installation of the driveshaft onto the vehicle can
now proceed. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer's
documentation for installation procedures. Ensure
phasing marks are aligned on mating components.
