                  2. Specified adhesive: 3M Stud Locking 4170 or equivalent
                  1. Set the groove side of DOJ assembly (for packing) toward the DOJ boot side and install them.
                       
                    1. Lining up the mating marks on the DOJ assembly and the centre propeller shaft and using the socket wrench, install the DOJ assembly to the centre propeller shaft.
                         
                      1. Using the bolt, align the bolt holes of the DOJ boot and the DOJ assembly and install DOJ boot to the DOJ assembly.
                      1. Install the rubber packing of the companion flange side in the same manner as described in (4) above.
                         
                      • Clamp the boot by holding down the lever at a position nearly opposite to the vent groove provided in the DOJ boot (at arrow marked position on boot).
                      • Be sure to remove grease, if present, from around the vent groove. Grease obstructs the ventilation air passage.
                         
                      1. Set the centre bearing assembly in the direction shown in the figure and install it to the centre propeller shaft.

                        • Needle roller bearing
                       CAUTION
                      Be careful when pressing the journal bearings. If they are pressed at an angle, the inside of the journal bearings will be damaged.

                          1. Use special tool universal joint remover and installer (MB990840) at the opposite side of the installed snap ring to press in the journal bearing toward the snap ring.
                          2.  CAUTION
                            Always use snap rings of equal thickness on both sides.
                               
                            1. Install the snap ring on the opposite side, and measure the clearance of the snap ring groove with a feeler gauge.
                            2. Standard value (A): 0.02 - 0.06 mm
                            1. If the clearance exceeds the standard value, adjust by changing the thickness of the snap ring.
