5. SELECT SPIDER BEARING
Select the bearing according to whether or not there is a drill
mark on the yoke section.

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.

between the bearing outer race and 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers \
indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.
(w/ Differential locking system):
Check that center differential lock mode is set.
When switching differential Free↔Lock, the indicator lamp will blink if the gears of the differen-
tial lock sleeve are not meshed. If this occurs, when the tires are rotated \
to apply differential
power to the differential, the differential locks and the indicator lamp\
light up.
