PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 4WD): INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL REAR PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY

(a) Remove the SST from the transmission.





SST : 09325-40010

(b) Insert the yoke of the intermediate shaft into the transmission.

NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the oil seal.

(c) Install the 2 center support bearing washers and center support bearing, and temporarily tighten the 2 bolts.









Align the matchmarks on the differential companion flange and flexible coupling.

(d) Install and torque the 6 bolts, washers and nuts.

Torque : 79 Nm (805 kgf-cm, 58 ft-lbf)

NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the flexible coupling centering bushing.

HINT
The bolts should be installed from the propeller shaft side.

(e) Adjust the dimension between the edge surface of the center support bearing and the edge surface of the cushion to 11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.4528 to 0.5315 in.) respectively as shown in illustration.





(f) Check that the center line of the bracket is at right angles to the shaft axial direction.





(g) Tighten the 2 bolts.





Torque : 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft-lbf)

2. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE

(a) Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.

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

(b) Check the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.

(1) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.

SST : 09370-50010

HINT
The SST should be set directly underneath the shaft.

(2) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.





SST : 09370-50010

HINT
Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the position shown in the illustration.

(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

No. 2 joint angle:

A - B = 0°16' to 1°16'

A:

Intermediate shaft installation angle

B:

Propeller shaft installation angle

(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

No. 3 joint angle:

B - C = 0°55' to 1°55'

B:

Propeller shaft installation angle

C:

Differential installation angle

HINT
If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.

(c) Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.

(1) Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment.

Adjustment washer





NOTICE:
The 2 washers should be of the same thickness.

3. INSTALL AIR GUIDE PLATE OUTSIDE RH





Install the air guide plate outside RH with the 4 nuts.

4. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR NO. 1 HEAT INSULATOR Installation

5. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY Installation

6. INSTALL HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (for Sensor 2) Installation

7. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR BRACE CENTER Installation

8. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR COVER CENTER LH Installation

9. CHECK FOR EXHAUST GAS LEAKS Installation
