PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY: INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT 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)

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

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

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





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

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

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

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

(f) Temporarily install the 2 bolts with the adjusting washers.





HINT
Use the adjusting washers which were removed.

2. 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 (0.452 to 0.531 in.) as shown in the illustration.





(b) Check that the center line of the bracket is at a right angle to the shaft axial direction.





(c) Tighten the 2 bolts.





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

(d) Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.





SST : 09922-10010

3. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE (for Long Body)

(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
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 SST in the positions shown in the illustration.





(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.
