Syncro Propshaft Poly Bush fitting
September 2005

This is the new replacement Poly bush as supplied by Gordon Craig in South Africa.

Note the flanged end on the left needs slightly profiling in order to fit the space vacated by the O ring - I lightly sanded the edges off to give a better profile and facilitate fitting.

I found I needed to hold the whole donut in a vice in order to undo the four Allen headed bolts holding the UJ and donut to the propshaft.

Once the bolts are undone and removed recover the four washers from between the donut and the propshaft and gently withdraw the whole assembly to leave you looking at the o ring and the two bronze bushes inside the prop

This is the UJ, donut and shaft assembly that you have withdrawn from the prop.

I marked the prop and the UJ with paint marks before disassembly so I could put it all back together in the same orientation.

I didn’t remove the donut from the UJ as no need - it only meant that I couldn’t take a close look at the wear marks on the shaft bearing surface at it’s outer end. But I could feel the play when the bolts were undone before withdrawing the shaft from the prop.
