A spline connection structure is provided with a shaft spline and a bore spline. The shaft spline is comprised of plural involute teeth formed on a shaft, while the bore spline is comprised of plural involute teeth formed on a hub and maintained in engagement with the teeth of the shaft spline. The hub is provided with at least one cylindrical hole and a thin wall portion facing a lower end portion of the cylindrical hole. The thin wall portion is pressed by a pressing member inserted in the cylindrical hole to widen an interval between at least two of the teeth of the bore spline, said at least two teeth being located in a vicinity of the thin wall portion, such that at least one of the at least two teeth is pressed against at least one associated tooth of the teeth of the shaft spline and is restrained to restrict movement of the hub relative to the shaft. At least one tooth of at least one of the shaft spline and bore spline, said at least one tooth being located in a vicinity of the thin wall portion, is provided with a cutout portion formed by cutting off the at least one tooth at a part thereof such that the cutout portion is located in a neighborhood of an end face of the hub located on a side opposite another end face of the hub located on a side of an end portion of the shaft.
