Remove propeller shaft, refer to Drive/Propeller Shaft, Service and Repair.
Mark installed position of front propeller-shaft section to rear propeller-shaft section.

Caution: Propeller shaft was balanced in assembled state so the propeller-shaft sections must not be turned when reinstalled.

Installation note:
Unscrew locking sleeve (1).
Before assembling the propeller shaft brackets, first fit clamping bush (1), washer (2) and rubber ring (3).
