A±B= ±1°01' ± 37'
A: Intermediate shaft installation angle
B: Propeller shaft installation angle
(d) Calculate the No.3 joint angle.
No.3 joint angle:
B±C= 1°14' ± 42'
B: Propeller shaft installation angle
C: Differential installation angle
If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust it
with the center support bearing adjusting washer.
3. ADJUST NO.2 JOINT ANGLE
Select the proper shaft center support bearing adjusting wash-
er for adjustment.

REMOVAL
1. REMOVE EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
(a) Disconnect the heated oxygen sensor.
(b) Remove the 2 bolts and front floor center brace.
(c) Disconnect the exhaust pipe assembly from the O±rings.
(d) 2JZ±GE Engine:
Remove the 3 bolts, nuts and 2 gaskets from the exhaust
manifold.
(e) 1UZ±FE Engine:
Remove the 4 bolts, nuts and 2 gaskets from the exhaust
manifold.
(f) Remove the exhaust pipe assembly.
2. REMOVE 2 HEAT INSULATORS
(a) Remove the 6 bolts and heat insulator.
(b) Remove the 4 bolts and heat insulator.
3. REMOVE PROPELLER SHAFT
(a) Using SST, loosen the adjusting nut until it can be turned
by hand.
SST 09922±10010
HINT:
Use 2 of the same type of SST.
(b) Place matchmarks on the transmission companion flange
and flexible coupling.
(c) Remove the 3 bolts installed from the transmission side.
NOTICE:
The bolts installed from the propeller shaft side should not
be removed.
(d) Place matchmarks on the differential companion flange
and flexible coupling.
(e) Remove the 3 bolts installed from the differential side.
NOTICE:
The bolts installed from the propeller shaft side should not
be removed.

(f) Separate the flexible couplings from the transmission and
differential.
HINT:
If the flexible coupling cannot be easily separated by hand, in-
sert a screwdriver into the bolt hole of the flexible coupling as
shown in the illustration, then pry the coupling out.
NOTICE:
Do not bring the screwdriver blade in direct contact with
the flexible coupling's rubber portion.
(g) Remove the 2 center support bearing set bolts and ad-
justing washers.
HINT:
Some vehicles are not equipped with an adjusting washer.
NOTICE:
When removing the set bolts, support the center support
bearing by hand so that the transmission and intermediate
shaft, and propeller shaft and differential, remain in a
straight line.
Maximum joint angle: 5°
(h) Push the rear propeller shaft straight forward to compress
the propeller shaft and pull out the propeller shaft from the
centering pin of the differential.
NOTICE:
Press the propeller shaft straight ahead to keep the trans-
mission and intermediate shaft aligned straight.
(i) Pull the propeller shaft out toward the vehicle's rear.
NOTICE:
The intermediate shaft and propeller shaft should not be
separated.
