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.

Play in Constant Velocity Joint
Position the shaft in a vise between two pieces of wood,
then secure.
Test for shaft movement by attempting to move back and
forth, and side to side.
Secure as needed.

Boot of Constant Velocity Joint
Check the following: boot (2) for crack, damage and
grease leakage, the boot band (1) for looseness and
damage, and both sides of the joint for gease leakage
coming from the cover press-in parts (3).

1. Lay the shaft horizontally on a bench and secure.
2. Indicate the original assembled position by marking
the phasing of the shaft prior to disassembly.
3. Using the flat blade of a screwdriver, pry the loose end
of the boot clamp upwards and away from the
propeller shaft boot. Be careful not to damage the
boot.4. When boot clamps becomes loose, remove by hand.
5. Repeat for the other boot clamp.
6. Remove the slip yoke assembly from the driveshaft,
by securing the boot with one hand and pulling on the
slip yoke.
7. Remove the boot from the shaft assembly.

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 (smaller diameter side) onto the spline
yoke shaft being careful not to damage the spline
coating or boot.
4. Insert the spline yoke shaft spline into the tube
assembly being careful to maintain proper phasing.
The spider holes should be in line as originally marked
prior to disassembly.
5. Position boot onto tube and yoke shaft in its
assembled position.
6. Attach boot clamps and secure using pliers.7. Be sure clamp is properly seated and secure.
CAUTION: Only use a similar type or same as the
original type clamp. Using any other clamp may
create an imbalanced shaft or lead to grease leakage.

Disassembly
1. Raise the vehicle with a jack. Support the frame with
chassis stands.
2. Remove the brake caliper from the bracket. Secure
the caliper with a wire so that it does not interfere with
the work process.
Refer to
Front disc caliper assembly in Section 5C of this
Manual.
3. Remove the disk rotor
Apply penetrating oil to the bearing and disc rotor contact
surfaces if the surfaces are stuck together because of
rust.
4. Inspect the hub unit bearing. Refer to
Inspection
below.
5. Use a dial gauge to measure the bearing axial rattle.
Bearing axial rattle: 0.05 mm max
