FRONT PROPSHAFT

REMOVAL / INSTALLATION

1. Remove the front bumper (see Chapter 5).
2. Elevate and safely support vehicle under the frame.
The use of a vehicle hoist is recommended for this
procedure.
CAUTION
Serious injury may result if machine tips or falls. Be
sure machine is secure before beginning this service
procedure. Wear eye protection when removing
bearings and seals.
3. Remove the front gearcase from the vehicle (see
"Front Gearcase Removal" provided in this chapter).
4. Pull the front propshaft towards the front of the
vehicle until the splines on the rear yoke disengage
from the transmission snorkel shaft. Remove the
propshaft out the front of the vehicle as shown.
If the propshaft does not fully disengage from the
transmission snorkel shaft, remove the skid plate to
access the front engine mount support. Remove the (2)
driver's side engine mount nuts. Doing so will allow you
to lift up on the engine to get more clearance between
the propshaft and the steel skid plate.
5. Reverse this procedure to reinstall the front
propshaft. Use a NEW roll pin upon installation.
