Propeller shaft assembly

Components

Removal

1. Remove propeller shaft with center bearing shaft assembly

1. Remove the 2 bolts and 2 adjusting washers, and disconnect the propeller with center bearing shaft.

Notice:

• During the removal, do not exert excessive force on the universal joint.
• When removing, transporting or storing the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly, do not allow the no. 2 Joint angle to exceed 20Ю

1. 1
   Place matchmarks on the differential carrier and propeller shaft.
2. 2
   Remove the 4 nuts and 4 washers, and disconnect the propeller shaft and differential carrier.

   

1. 1
   Place matchmarks on the transfer and propeller shaft.
2. 2
   Remove the 4 nuts and 4 washers, and disconnect the propeller shaft from the transfer.

Inspection

1. Inspect propeller shaft with center bearing shaft assembly

1. Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout for front side.

Maximum runout: 0.4 Mm (0.02 In.)

If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.

Notice:

Place the dial indicator on the center of the shaft, and perpendicular to the shaft.

2. Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout for rear side.

Maximum runout: 0.4 Mm (0.02 In.)

If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.

Notice:

Place the dial indicator on the center of the shaft, and perpendicular to the shaft.

1. 1
   Inspect joint angle
2. 2
   Before the angle measurement, use procedures like the examples below to stabilize each part.
3. 3
   Rotate the propeller shaft several times by hand.
4. 4
   Set the jack to the differential, and raise and lower it.

Notice:

Perform the measurement with a 4 post lift or pit so that the vehicle condition is as close to a standard ground condition as possible.

2. Using sst, measure the installation angle of the propeller shaft for front side (a in illustration).

Sst 09370-50010 standard angle a: -2д9' -3а1' For w/ 3rd seat

3. Using sst, measure the installation angle of the propeller shaft for front side (a in illustration) and propeller shaft for rear side (b in illustration).

Sst 09370-50010 Standard angle a-b: 1г5'

4. Using sst, measure the installation angle of the propeller shaft for rear side (b in illustration) and differential carrier rear side (c in illustration).

Sst 09370-50010 Standard angle b-c: 2а4'

5. If the result is not as specified, replace the center support bearing adjusting washer with a more appropriate one.

Notice:

• Use washers of the same thickness on the left and right sides.
• Do not use 2 or more washers stacked together

Installation

1. Temporarily install propeller shaft with center bearing shaft assembly

1. 1
   Align the matchmarks of the transfer and propeller shaft.
2. 2
   Temporarily install the propeller shaft with center bearing with the 4 nuts and 4 washers.

   

1. 1
   Align the matchmarks of the differential carrier and propeller shaft.
2. 2
   Temporarily install the propeller shaft with center bearing with the 4 bolts and 4 washers.

   

1. 1
   Temporarily install the center support bearing and center support bearing washer with the 2 bolts.
2. 2
   Tighten propeller shaft with center bearing shaft assembly
3. 3
   Tighten the 4 nuts of the propeller shaft and transfer to the torque specification.

Torque: 35 n*m (357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*Lbf)

Tighten the 4 nuts of the propeller shaft and differential carrier to the torque specification.

Torque: 35 n*m (357 kgf*cm, 26 ft.*Lbf)

Check that the center line of the center support bearing housing is perpendicular to the axis of the propeller shaft.

Tighten the 2 bolts of the center support bearing to the torque specification.

Torque: 36.8 N*m (375 kgf*cm, 27 ft.*Lbf)

3. Inspect joint angle (see page pr-4)
