PROPELLER SHAFT: REAR PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY: INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY





(a) Apply grease to the flexible coupling centering bush.
Grease:
Molybdenum disulfide lithium base, NLGI No. 2
(b) Install the propeller shaft from the vehicle's rear.
NOTE:
Support the center support bearing by hand so that the transmission and intermediate shaft, and propeller shaft and differential remain in a straight line.

Maximum joint angle:
5°





(c) Align the matchmarks and connect the propeller shaft to the transmission and differential.
(d) Install and torque the 6 bolts, 6 washers and 6 nuts.
Torque: 79 Nm (805 kgf-cm, 58 ft-lbf)
NOTE:
The bolts should be installed from the propeller shaft side.





(e) Temporarily install the 2 center support bearing set bolts with the adjusting washers.
HINT: Use the adjusting washers which were removed.





(f) Adjust the center bearing assembly in relation to the front and rear of the vehicle. Make sure that the distance between the center bearing housing's rear end and cushion's rear end is 12.5 +-1 mm (0.492 +-0.04 in.), as shown in the illustration.
(g) Check that the center line of the bracket is at right angles to the shaft axial direction.
(h) Tighten the 2 center support bearing set bolts.
Torque: 37 Nm (375 kgf-cm, 27 ft-lbf)





(i) Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.
SST: 09922-10010
Torque: 69 Nm (704 kgf-cm, 51 ft-lbf)
Torque: 51 Nm (520 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 34.5 cm (13.6 in.).

2. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE
NOTE:
When performing operations which involve the removal and installation of the propeller shaft, always check the joint angle. Make adjustments if necessary.

(a) Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.




(1) Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing and flexible couplings.




(2) Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
(b) Check the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angle.




(1) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.
SST: 09370-50010
HINT: The SST should be directly underneath the shaft tube.




(2) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.
SST: 09370-50010
HINT: Measure the installation angle by placing SST in the position shown in the illustration.
(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.
Standard No. 2 joint angle:
A - B = -1°01' +-37'
A
Intermediate shaft installation angle
B
Propeller shaft installation angle
(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.
Standard No. 3 joint angle:
B - C = 1°14' +-42'
B
Propeller shaft installation angle
C
Differential installation angle





If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust it with the center support bearing adjusting washer.





(c) Adjust the joint angle.
(1) Select the propeller shaft center support bearing adjusting washer so that the joint angles meet the specifications.
Standard adjust washer thickness:





NOTICE:
- The left and right washers should be the same thickness.
- The 2 washers should not be assembled together.
(2) Install the selected adjusting washer.





3. INSTALL PARKING BRAKE CABLE HEAT INSULATOR
(a) Install the insulator with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)





4. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR NO. 1 HEAT INSULATOR
(a) Install the insulator with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)
5. INSTALL CENTER EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY Installation
6. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY Installation
7. CONNECT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Sensor 2)
(a) Connect the sensor Installation.
8. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR CENTER BRACE
(a) Install the floor center brace with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 20 Nm (204 kgf-cm, 15 ft-lbf)
