How to insert 360 propshaft?

Post by arnagath » 10 Jul 2006 12:19 am

What is the right way to put propshaft into b200?
I have to remove my broken propshaft and put unbroken to it..
It broke when I removed technic from GLT and I hitted too hard to wrong place so bearings which are inside torquetube? didnt like that kind of hitting.

Now propshaft rattles and clunches while driving so it must be changed.

First time I putted propshaft, my friend told me that cluthcovers bolts must be
losened so it will bend while putting propshaft into clutchhole..

So tell me what is right way to put it so I can do it right for now :?

Well, there's two ways of doing it. You can either fit the bellhousing, pressure plate and clutch plate to the propshaft/torque tube first and then push it into place, and then tighten up and locate it properly through the hole in the bottom of the housing.

Or you can do it using a clutch centering tool, which you press through the pilot bearing in the crankshaft and then centre the clutch plate on that (You can use any rod of the correct diameter tbh) and then tighten everything up properly before fitting the torque tube and propshaft.

Either way will work fine and both are about equally as fiddly as each other.
