Quick Installation Tips

Fit the supplied o-rings into the outdrives before pushing the driveshafts into place so the cross pins sit squarely. Double check alignment to avoid binding and ensure reliable rotation.

How do I check the fit before final assembly?

Trial fit the shafts into the outdrives with the o-rings in place and rotate the assembly by hand to confirm there is no binding. If movement feels tight, inspect o-ring seating and pin alignment.

Will these shafts affect handling or balance?

These universal shafts are similar in weight to stock parts and should not notably change balance. Correct installation and secure pinning are more important for smooth handling.

Are there special tools recommended for the job?

Standard hobby tools such as a small set of hex drivers, pliers and a precision screwdriver work well. A pin punch can help seat cross pins if access is tight.
