INSTALLATION
When Installing New Propeller Shaft
CAUTION:

When installing propeller shaft, handle it carefully.

Propeller shaft must be installed with packing material attached (delivered condition). Do not
install propeller shaft with packing material removed.
1. Insert propeller shaft with packing material between floor rein-
forcement and floor panel.
CAUTION:
After insertion, check that shift control boot does not come
off (M/T models).
2. Install propeller shaft while aligning its matching mark A with the
matching mark B on the joint as close as possible.
3. Temporarily tighten bolts and nuts.
4. Press down propeller shaft with matching mark C facing upward.
Then tighten fixing bolts and nuts to the specified torque. Refer
to PR-6, "
Components" .
5. Remove packing material from propeller shaft.
6. Return exhaust system to its original position. For tightening
torque, EX-3, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
7. After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft
vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from
final drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 90,
180, 270 degrees. Then perform driving test and check propeller
shaft vibration again at each point.
