Propeller Shaft
DRIVE SHAFT SYSTEM
2. Propeller Shaft
A: REMOVAL
NOTE:
•Before removing propeller shaft, wrap metal
parts with a cloth or rubber material.
•In case of EDJ type, wrap the metal parts at the
rubber boot at the center EDJ with a cloth or rubber
material before removing propeller shaft, as shown
in the figure. The rubber boot may be damaged due
to interference with adjacent metal parts while
bending the EDJ during removal.
1) Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
2) Shift the select lever or gear shift lever to neutral.
3) Release the parking brake.
4) Lift-up the vehicle.
5) Remove the center exhaust pipe.
6) Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler.
7) Remove the heat shield cover.
8) Make matching marks on the flange yoke and
rear differential before removal.
9) Remove the three bolts holding the propeller
shaft to the rear differential.
10) Remove the remaining bolt.
11) Remove the two bolts which hold center bear-
ing to vehicle body.
12) Remove the propeller shaft from transmission.
CAUTION:
•Be careful not to damage oil seals and fric-
tional surface of the sleeve yoke.
•Cover the center exhaust pipe with a cloth to
keep off any ATF or oil spilled from transmis-
sion when removing propeller shaft.
NOTE:
Use a container to catch ATF or oil flowing from
propeller shaft.(A) Heat shield cover

13) Install an extension cap to the transmission.
NOTE:
If extension cap is not available, place vinyl bag
over opening and fasten with string to prevent gear
oil or ATF from leaking.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Insert the sleeve yoke into the transmission and
attach center bearing to body.
Tightening torque:
52 N·m (5.3 kgf-m, 38.3 ft-lb)
2) Align the matching marks and connect the flange
yoke and rear differential.
Tightening torque:
31 N·m (3.2 kgf-m, 23.1 ft-lb)
3) Install the heat shield cover.
4) Install the center exhaust pipe.
5) Install the rear exhaust pipe and muffler.
6) Lower the vehicle.
7) Connect the ground cable to the battery.
C: INSPECTION
NOTE:
Do not disassemble propeller shaft. Check the fol-
lowing and replace if necessary.
•Tube surface for dents of cracks
•Splines for deformation or abnormal wear
•Unsmooth joint operation or abnormal noise
•Center bearing for free play, noise or non-
smooth operation.
•Oil seals for abnormal wear or damage
•Damaged center bearing
Check the following points with propeller shaft in-
stalled in vehicle.
1. JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS
1) Remove the center exhaust pipe.
2) Remove the heat shield cover.
3) Check for any looseness of the yoke flange
mounting bolts which connect to the rear differen-
tial and center bearing bracket mounting bolts.
2. SPLINES AND BEARING
1) Remove the center exhaust pipe.
2) Remove the rear exhaust pipe and muffler.
3) Remove the heat shield cover.
4) Turn the propeller shaft by hand to see if abnor-
mal free play exists at splines. Also move yokes to
see if abnormal free play exists at spiders and
bearings.
