REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
AREAR CROSSMEMBER AND DIFFERENTIAL
CARRIER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
(1) Using a jack, support the differential carrier from its
underside.
(2) Remove the rear crossmember mounting bolts and
remove the differential carrier, where it is attached to
the rear crossmember, from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
AREAR CROSSMEMBER AND DIFFERENTIAL
CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Tighten the rear crossmember mounting bolts in the numerical
order shown.
NOTE
To ensure both good installation accuracy and ease of
installation, the rear crossmember mounting holes have
different diameters between front and rear. This is the reason
for specifying the tightening sequence of the mounting bolts.
BPROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
Align the alignment mark on the differential carrier with that
of the propeller shaft at installation.
Caution
Oil or grease on the threads of the mounting bolt or nut
can allow the bolt or nut to come loose. Be sure to
degrease the threads before installation.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
APROPELLER SHAFT DISCONNECTION
Make an alignment mark on the companion flange and flange
yoke, then disconnect the propeller shaft from the companion
flange.
Caution
Suspend the propeller shaft from the body with a wire
to prevent the bend at the joint from catching and
damaging the joint boot.
