If not already completed, apply multi-purpose greaseto inside of outer profile and reassemble driveline.2. Assemble the two driveline profiles together with just1/3 overlapping of the profile tubes as shown below.Once assembled, measure and record the maximumallowable length for future reference.Record Maximum Allowable Length here: ________Driveline Maximum LengthFigure 1-103.
