Drive/Propeller Shaft: Service Precautions

Propeller Shaft Caution

CAUTION:
^ All propeller shaft fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
^ Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any propeller shaft part. Replace it with a new part, or damage to the part may result.
