PROPELLER SHAFT: PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY: INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION

1. INSTALL REAR PROPELLER 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 6 bolts, washers and nuts.
Torque: 79 Nm (805 kgf-cm, 58ft-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 6 bolts, washers and nuts.
Torque: 79 Nm (805 kgf-cm, 58ft-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 center support bearing dampers with the adjusting washers.
HINT: Use the adjusting washers which were removed.

2. FULLY TIGHTEN CENTER NO. 1 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 illustration.

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

(d) Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.
SST: 09922-10010
Torque: 69 Nm (700 kgf-cm, 51ft-lbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 34.5 cm (13.6 in.).

3. 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 SST in the positions shown in the illustration.

(3) Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.
No. 2 joint angle:
A - B = 0°11' to 1°11'
A:
Intermediate shaft installation angle
B:
Propeller shaft installation angle
(4) Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.
No. 3 joint angle:
B - C = 0°53' to 1°53'
B:
Propeller shaft installation angle
C:
Differential installation angle
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 an appropriate center support bearing washer thickness from the table below, and obtain a washer set.
Standard adjustment washer:

NOTICE:
- Each set contains 2 washers.
- Using the washer set, perform the adjustment.

4. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR NO. 1 HEAT INSULATOR
(a) Install the heat insulator with the 4 nuts.
Torque: 5.4 Nm (55 kgf-cm, 48in-lbf)
5. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
(a) Install the front exhaust pipe Installation.
6. CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAK Installation
