97Chapter 4 Propeller ShaftSection 1 Propeller ShaftPropeller shaft is constant velocity propeller shaft, consisting of tripod constant velocity universal joint and
Rzeppa constant velocity univeral joint, where the tripod one is on the differential side and the Rzeppa one is
on the wheel side.Structure

10110. Remove the snap ring on the spline shaft end of the tripod constant velocity joint
Notice: Do not damage the snap ring, or it shall be replaced
11.Disassemble the Rzeppa Constant velocity universal joint boot Use screwdriver to loosen the
Rzeppa Constant velocity universal joint boot band, remove the boot
Notice: Replace the band if it is distorted
12. Disassemble the Rzeppa Constant velocity universal joint
(1) Remove the old grease
(2) Use the mark pen to make a matchmark on the inboard and outboard joint
Notice: Do not punch the marks
13. Installation is in the reverse order of removal procedure
Notice:
(1) Apply proper amount of long life grease as specified when assembling the tripod
velocity universal joint and Rzeppa Constant velocity universal joint, and then
assemble it according to the matchmark.(2) Keep both sides of the spline shaft clean, the boot intact and the band assembled into place(3) The tripod constant velocity joint spline shaft and the differential shall be assembled into place, with the snap ring opening facing down, use rubber hammer to tap it
appropriately when necessary
(4) Propeller shaft attaching nut torque: 145~155N.m, install the cotter pin
(5) Steering knuckle lower swing arm assembly ball stud pin retaining bolt and nut
torque: 80~90N.m
(6) Tie rod ball stud pin attaching nut torque:27~39N.m, install the cotter pin
