Removal
1. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
NOTE: Apply alignment marks on the flange at the rear
propeller shaft both front and rear side.
2. Remove transfer side bolt, nut and washer (except
spline yoke type).
3. Remove rear axle side bolt, nut and washer.
4. Remove rear propeller shaft.
NOTE: Plug the hole of the transmission rear end to
prevent oil leakage (spline yoke type only).
Installation
NOTE: Never install the shaft assembly backwards.
Never insert bar between yoke lugs when tightening or re-
moving bolts.
Completely remove the dust or foreign matter from the
connecting surface of flange coupling on each end of the
propeller shaft.
1. Align the mark which is applied at removal.
2. Install rear propeller shaft and tighten the bolts to the
specified torque.

Torque is transmitted from the transmission to the axle
through the propeller shaft and universal joint assembles.
All propeller shafts are the balanced tubular type. A
splined slip joint is provided in some drivelines.

Since the propeller shaft is balanced carefully,
welding or any other modification is not permitted.
Alignment marks should be applied to each propeller
shaft before removal.

Park, turn the engine off and apply the parking brake
to secure the vehicle.

Carefully attach the propeller shaft to the vise, do not
overtighten the vise when securing the propeller
shaft, this may cause deformation.

Diagnosis of Propeller Shaft and
Universal Joint
ConditionPossible causeCorrection
Universal Joint Noise.Worn universal joint bearings.Replace.
Improper lubrication.Lubricate as directed.
Loose flange bolts.Tighten to specifications.
Ping, Snap, or Click in Drive Line
(Usually Heard on Initial Load after
the Transmission is in Forward or
Reverse Gear)
Loose bushing bolts on the rear
springs or upper and lower control
arms.Tighten the bolts to specified torque.
Reverse Gear)Loose or out-of-phase end yoke.Remove end yoke, turn 180 degrees
from its original position, lubricate the
splines and reinstall. Tighten the
bolts and pinion nut to specified
torque.
Knocking or Clanking Noise in the
Driveline when in High or Neutral
Gear at 16km/h(10mph)Worn or damaged universal jointReplace the universal joint.
SqueakLack of lubricant.Lubricate joints and splines. Also
check for worn or brinelled parts.
Shudder on Acceleration (Low
Speed)Loose or missing bolts at the flanges.Replace or tighten bolts to specified
torque.
Incorrectly set front joint angle.Install shim under the transmission
support mount to change the front
joint angle.
Worn universal joint.Replace.
VibrationIncorrect shaft runout.Replace.
Shaft out of balance.Adjust.
Transmission rear housing bushing,
transfer case housing bushing worn.Replace.
Yoke spline jammed.Replace.
Excessive Leak at the Front Spline
Yoke of Rear Propeller ShaftRough surface on splined yoke;
burred nicked or worn.Replace the seal. Minor burrs can be
Smoothed by careful use of crocus
cloth or fine stone honing. Replace
the yoke if badly burred.
Defective transmission rear oil seal.Replace the transmission rear oil
seal and replenish the transmission
oil.

1. Apply grease evenly to both the female and male
splines.
2. Apply a small amount of grease by finger to the outer
lips of the boot.
3. Slide the boot onto the yoke shaft being careful not to
damage the spline coating or boot.
4. Insert the yoke shaft spline into the sleeve being
careful to maintain proper phasing. The spider holes
should be in line and as per originally marked prior to
disassembly.5. Position boot onto sleeve and yoke shaft in final
position over boot grooves.
6. Attach boot clamps and secure using pliers.
7. Be sure clamp is properly seated and secure.
