PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 2GR-FSE 2WD): INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT WITH CENTER BEARING ASSEMBLY

(a) Apply grease to the flexible coupling centering bushings.

Grease:

Molybdenum disulphide lithium base NLGI No. 2

(b) Align the matchmarks on the transmission companion flange and flexible coupling.

(c) Install and tighten the 3 bolts, 3 washers and 3 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.

(d) Align the matchmarks on the differential companion flange and flexible coupling.

(e) Install and torque the 3 bolts, 3 washers and 3 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.

(f) Temporarily install the 2 center support bearing set bolts with the adjusting washers.

HINT
Use the removed adjusting washers.

2. FULLY TIGHTEN NO. 1 CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY

(a) 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 the illustration.

(b) Check that the center line of the bracket is perpendicular to the shaft axial direction.

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

(d) Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.

SST : 09922-10010

When not using SST - Torque : 69 Nm (700 kgf-cm, 51 ft-lbf)

When using SST - Torque : 51 Nm (520 kgf-cm, 38 ft-lbf)

HINT
Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.6 in.).

3. INSPECT AND ADJUST BOTH NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLES

(a) Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.

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

(b) Check both 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 on the bottom of 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 positions shown in the illustration.

(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

No. 2 joint angle:

A - B = -0°49' to -1°49'

A:

Intermediate shaft installation angle

B:

Propeller shaft installation angle

(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

No. 3 joint angle:

B - C = 0°70' to 2°10'

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 the same thickness.

4. INSTALL OUTSIDE AIR GUIDE PLATE RH

(a) Install the outside air guide plate RH with the 4 nuts.

Torque : 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)

5. INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR

(a) Install the front No. 1 floor heat insulator with the 4 nuts.

Torque : 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48 in-lbf)

6. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
