Removal and Installation

REMOVAL

Remove engine under cover. Refer to Exploded View.

Disconnect fixed parts between main muffler and exhaust front tube. Refer to Removal and Installation.

Remove heat insulator (1) after removing clips of floor insulator.

CAUTION:

Never bend heat insulator.

Put matching marks (A) on propeller shaft flange yoke and transfer companion flange.

CAUTION:

For matching mark, use paint. Never damage propeller shaft flange yoke and transfer companion flange.

Put matching marks (A) on propeller shaft flange yoke and rear final drive companion flange.

CAUTION:

For matching mark, use paint. Never damage propeller shaft flange yoke and rear final drive companion flange.

Loosen mounting nuts of center bearing mounting bracket.

NOTE:

Tighten mounting nuts temporarily to prevent drop of propeller shaft.

Remove propeller shaft assembly fixing bolts, and separate propeller shaft assembly from transfer companion flange.

Remove propeller shaft assembly fixing bolts and nuts, and separate propeller shaft assembly from rear final drive companion flange.

Remove center bearing mounting bracket mounting nuts.

Remove propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:

• Constant velocity joint must be handled with care.

• If constant velocity joint was bent during propeller shaft assembly removal, installation, or transportation, its boot (1) may be damaged. Wrap boot interference area to metal part (2) with shop cloth or rubber to protect boot from breakage.

  

• Since no retaining pin is included in sliding direction, the boot may be damaged or dropped if the constant velocity joint is slid out 25 mm (0.98 in) or more from the original length. Therefore, handle constant velocity joint by sliding it inward.

  

Remove heat shield plate from transfer if necessary.

Perform inspection after removal. Refer to Inspection.

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

• For non-reusable parts, refer to Exploded View.

• For each tightening torque, refer to Exploded View.

  • Clean and degrease the thread and seat of heat shield plate mounting bolts.

• Remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material from matching surface on transfer companion flange, rear final drive companion flange and propeller shaft flange.

• Align matching marks (A) to install propeller shaft flange yoke and rear final drive companion flange.

  

• Align matching marks (A) to install propeller shaft flange yoke and transfer companion flange.

  

• If propeller shaft assembly or final drive assembly has been replaced, connect them as follows:

  • Install propeller shaft (1) while aligning its matching mark (A) of propeller shaft with matching mark (B) of final drive (2) on the joint as close as possible.

    

• The bolt head should not become out of alignment due to interference between the bolt hexagonal head and the stopper (A).

  

• Protector (1) on boot interference area must be removed after installing propeller shaft assembly.

  

• Perform inspection after installation. Refer to Inspection.

Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Appearance

Check propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.

Propeller Shaft Runout

Check propeller shaft runout at measuring points with a dial indicator. If runout exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly.

• Propeller shaft runout measuring point (Point “”).

  

  : Front side

  Dimension
  A	: 554 mm (21.81 in)
  B	: 546 mm (21.5 in)

Journal Axial Play

As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial play of joint. If it is outside the standard, replace propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:

Never disassemble joints.

Center Bearing

Check center bearing for noise and damage. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:

Never disassemble center bearing.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from final drive. Reinstall propeller shaft by changing the phase between companion flange and propeller shaft by the one bolt hole at a time. Then perform driving test and check propeller shaft vibration again at each point.
