for Preparation Click here

1. Remove the SST from the transmission.
   

   SST

   09325-40010  
   

2. Insert the yoke of the intermediate shaft into the transmission.
   

   HINT:

   Be careful not to damage the oil seal.

3. Install the 2 center support bearing washers and center support bearing, and temporarily tighten the 2 bolts.
   

4. Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft flange and differential companion flange, and connect the shaft with the 4 bolts, washers and nuts.
   

   Torque:

   74 N*m{ 750 kgf*cm , 54 ft.*lbf }

5. 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 illustration.
   

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

7. Tighten the 2 bolts.
   

   Torque:

   49 N*m{ 500 kgf*cm , 36 ft.*lbf }

1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
   
   

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

2. 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 the SST in the position shown in the illustration.

   3. Calculate the No.2 joint angle.
      

      No.2 joint angle:

      A - B = -1°36' to -0°36'
      

      A:

      Intermediate shaft installation angle
      

      B:

      Propeller shaft installation angle
      

   
   
   

   4. Calculate the No.3 joint angle.
      

      No.3 joint angle:

      B - C = 1°09' to 2°09'
      

      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.

3. Adjust the No.2 joint angle .
   
   

   1. Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment.
      

      Adjustment washer 

      Thickness mm (in.)

      2 (0.078)

      4.5 (0.1772)

      6.5 (0.2559)

      9.0 (0.3543)

      11 (0.4331)

      13.5 (0.5315)

      NOTICE:

      The 2 washers should be of the same thickness.

1. Install the heat insulator No.1 with the 4 nuts and grommet.
   

   Torque:
