REAR PROPELLER SHAFT


Removal and Installation


REMOVAL
1. Move the M/T shift lever to neutral position and release the parking brake.
2. Remove the floor reinforcement.
3. Remove the center muffler with power tool. Exploded View.





4. Remove the heat insulator (1).





5. Put matching marks on propeller shaft flange yoke with final drive companion flange.

CAUTION:
For matching marks, use paint. Never damage propeller shaft flange yoke and final drive companion flange.





6. Loosen mounting nuts of center bearing mounting brackets.

CAUTION:
Tighten mounting nuts temporarily.
7. Remove propeller shaft assembly fixing bolts and nuts.
8. Remove center bearing mounting bracket fixing nuts.
9. Remove propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:
- Never damage the rear oil seal of transmission.
- If constant velocity joint was bent during propeller shaft assembly removal, installation, or transportation, its boot may be damaged. Wrap boot interference area to metal part with shop cloth or rubber to protect boot from breakage.

INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.





- Install center bearing mounting bracket (upper) (1) with its arrow mark (A) facing forward.
- Adjust position of center bearing mounting bracket (upper) (1) and center bearing mounting bracket (lower) (2) sliding back and forth to prevent play in thrust direction of center bearing insulator (3).
Install bracket to vehicle.





- Align matching marks to install propeller shaft flange yoke with final drive companion flange.
- After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from final drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 90, 180, 270 degrees. Then perform driving test and check propeller shaft vibration again at each point.





- If propeller shaft assembly or final drive assembly has been replaced, connect them as follows:
- Face the companion flange mark (A) of the final drive (1) upward.
With the mark (A) faced upward, couple the propeller shaft and the final drive so that the matching mark (B) of propeller shaft (2) can be positioned as closest as possible with the matching mark (C) of the final drive companion flange.
- Tighten mounting bolts and nuts of propeller shaft and final drive to the specified torque.

CAUTION:
Never damage the rear oil seal of transmission.
