INSPECTION
1. INSPECT FRONT AND REAR PROPELLER SHAFTS FOR DAMAGE OR RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, check the runout of shafts. Maximum runout: 0.8 mm (0.031 in.)
If shaft runout is greater than maximum, replace the shaft.
2. REMOVE SLEEVE YOKE FROM PROPELLER SHAFT
Place matchmarks on the sleeve yoke and shaft.
(1) Pull out the sleeve yoke from the shaft.
(2) Remove the dust cover from the shaft.
3. INSPECT SPIDER BEARING
Check the spider bearings for wear or damage.
Check the spider bearing axial play by turning the yoke
with holding the shaft tightly.
Bearing axial play: Maximum 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
If necessary, replace the spider bearing.
4. INSERT SLEEVE YOKE INTO PROPELLER SHAFT
(a) Apply MP grease to the propeller shaft spline and sleeve yoke sliding surface.
(b) Align the matchmarks on the sleeve yoke propeller shaft.
(c) Install the propeller shaft into the sleeve yoke.

REPLACEMENT
NOTICE:
Be careful not to grip the propeller shaft tube too tightly in
the vise as this will cause deformation.
1. REMOVE PROPELLER SHAFT (See page PR−3)
2. PLACE MATCHMARKS ON SHAFT AND YOKE
3. REMOVE SNAP RINGS
(a) Using a brass bar and hammer, slightly tap in the bearing
outer races.
(b) Using 2 screwdrivers, remove the 4 snap rings from the grooves.
4. REMOVE SPIDER BEARINGS
(a) Using SST, push out the bearing from the flange. SST 09332−25010
HINT:
Sufficiently raise the part indicated by A so that it does not come
into contact with the bearing.
(b) Clamp the bearing outer race in a vise and tap off the flange with a hammer.
HINT:
Remove the bearing on the opposite side by the same proce-
dure.
(c) Install the 2 removed bearing outer races to the spider.
(d) Using SST, push out the bearing from the yoke. SST 09332−25010
(e) Clamp the outer bearing race in a vise and tap off the yoke
with a hammer.
HINT:
Remove the bearing on the opposite side in the same proce-
dure.

5. SELECT SPIDER BEARING
Select the bearing according to whether or not there is a drill
mark on the yoke section.
YokeBearing (T ype A)Bearing (Type B)
w/ drill markw/ color mark (White)w/ color mark (Red)
No drill markNo color markNo color mark
HINT:
At time of the reassemble, there are 2 types of rear propeller
shafts, type A and type B. Referring to the illustration, measure
the distance between the welding points X and Y to identify
which of the 2 types is used for the vehicle.
6. INSTALL SPIDER BEARING
(a) Apply MP grease to a new spider and bearings.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to apply too much grease.
(b) Align the matchmarks on the yoke and flange.
(c) Fit the spider into the yoke.
(d) Using SST, install the bearings on the spider. SST 09332−25010
(e) Using SST, adjust both bearings so that the snap ring grooves are at maximum and equal widths.

7. INSTALL SNAP RINGS
(a) Install 2 new snap rings of equal thickness which will allow
0 − 0.05 mm (0 − 0.0020 in.) axial play.
HINT:
Do not reuse the snap rings. Thickness of snap ring:

8. CHECK SPIDER BEARING (See page PR−4 )
Check that the spider bearing moves smoothly.
Check the spider bearing axial play.
Bearing axial play: Maximum 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.)
HINT:
Install a new spider bearing on the flange side in the pro-
cedure described above.
When replacing the spider bearing, be sure that the
grease fitting assembly hole is facing in the direction
shown in the illustration.
