Abstract
A press-fit device of a drive shaft into a differential gear installed in a front engine-front drive type automotive vehicle comprising a first mechanism for press-fitting a drive shaft and a Hooke's joint which are oppositely set to both sides of a differential gear and a second mechanism for retaining the first mechanism and adjusting the position of the first mechanism relative to the differential gear. The first mechanism is comprised of a cylinder fixedly provided with a first attachment at its one end and with a rod guide at its other end, a rod adapted to be reciprocatably inserted into the cylinder, being guided by the rod guide and having a stopper at its free end, a second attachment slidably fitted on the rod between the stopper and the rod guide, and a guide shaft provided in a parallel relation with the cylinder for guiding the movement of the second attachment. The first and the second attachments are adapted to abut against the end surfaces of the Hooke's joint and the drive shaft, respectively.
