INSTALLATION
Install propeller shaft(s) reversing removal procedure noting fol-
lowing points :
When installing propeller shaft, align the match marks.
Otherwise, vibration may occur during driving.
Use following specification to torque universal joint flange.

Match marks (1) are provided on slip-on spline connections
of propeller shaft No. 2 and No. 3. Inserting splined end into
spIined bore without regard to match marks can be a possi-
ble cause of noise or vibration of propeller shaft. Be sure to
index marks. NOTE:
If transmission oil was drained for front propeller shaft
removal, pour specified gear oil into transmission case
to specified level.

6) Push out bearing race (2) on flange yoke (1) in the same
way as Step 2).
7) Holding bearing race (2) by a vise (3), tap flange yoke (1)
and take out race.
8) Take out bearing race (2) on the opposite side of flange yoke
(1) in the same way as Step 5) to Step 6).
REASSEMBLY
1) Apply grease to rollers (1) in bearing races (2).
“A” : Grease 99000-25030
2) With spider (4) inserted into bearing race (2) to prevent roll-
ers in race from coming out, insert bearing race (2) into shaft
yoke (3) until it is flush with side face of shaft yoke (3), tap-
ping it by a copper hammer (1).
CAUTION:
Do not reuse spider (1), bearings (2) and circlips. Other-
wise it may damage propeller shaft or cause abnormal
vibration or noise.
NOTE:
Make sure that rollers (1) in bearing race (2) are all in
place.

3) Insert bearing race into opposite side of shaft yoke until it is
flush with side face of shaft yoke, tapping it by a copper
hammer.
4) In the same way as Step 2) to Step 3), insert bearing races
into flange yoke.
5) Using round bar of 22 – 24 mm (0.87 in. – 0.94 in.) in diame-
ter and hammer, tap bearing races into shaft or flange yoke
until circlips can be installed in its groove on yoke bores.
6) Install 4 circlips in each groove on shaft and flange yoke
bores.
