1) Insert bearing race into yoke, tapping it with a hammer, until it is
flush with yoke face. When doing this, insert spider into bearing
race to prevent rollers in bearing race from coming out.
2) Insert the other bearing race on the opposite side into yoke, tap-
ping with a hammer until it is flush with yoke face.
3) Insert bearing races on the flange yoke side in the same way as
described in 1) and 2) above.
4) Place a metal plate on bearing races when tapping them in to
avoid damaging yoke.
5) Securely fit 4 circlips to shaft and flange yoke.
NOTE:
After assembly, check to ensure that both shaft yoke and
flange yoke move smoothly.
Make sure that each circlip is fitted in groove securely.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install propeller shaft.
Use following specification to torque universal joint flange bolts
(and center support bolts).
Tightening Torque
(a): 50 N
.m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
When installing propeller shaft, align the match marks.
Otherwise, vibration may occur during driving.
NOTE:
If transfer oil was drained for front propeller shaft removal,
pour specified gear oil into transfer case to specified level.

6) Install wheel cylinder, and tighten wheel cylinder bolts and
brake pipe flare nut (or nuts) to specified torque. (Refer to steps
1) to 4) of WHEEL CYLINDER INSTALLATION of this section.)
7) Install parking brake cable to brake back plate.
8) Install brake shoes, referring to steps 1) to 4) of BRAKE SHOE
INSTALLATION.
9) Install brake drum. Refer to steps 1) to 2) of BRAKE DRUM
INSTALLATION in this section.
10) Refill differential housing with new specified gear oil. Refer to
ªMAINTENANCE SERVICEº in Section 7E for refill.
11) Fill reservoir with brake fluid and bleed brake system. (For
bleeding operation, refer to BLEEDING BRAKES in Section 5.)
12) Install wheel and tighten wheel nuts to specified torque.
Tightening Torque
(b): 100 N
.m (10.0 kg-m, 72.5 lb-ft)
13) Upon completion of all jobs, depress brake pedal with about 30
kg (66 lbs) load three to ten times so as to obtain proper drum-
to-shoe clearance.
Adjust parking brake cable. (For adjustment, refer to PARKING
BRAKE CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT in Section 5.)
14) Tighten rear center console box screws.
15) Check to ensure that brake drum is free from dragging and
proper braking is obtained. Then remove vehicle from hoist
and perform brake test (foot brake and parking brake).
16) Check each installed part for oil leakage.
