Examination
Intermediate shaft
1. Check the outer surface of the intermediate shaft for damage, excessive wear and pitting corrosion at location A where the needle bearing is installed (Figure 11.37).

2. Check the keyways for damage and wear.
Assembly
Snap ring
3. Select and install a snap ring such that the intermediate shaft bearing axial clearance corresponds to the required one (Figure 11.38).
