REMOVAL
1. Shift the transmission to the neutral posit ion, and then release the parking brake.
2. Put matching mark (A) on rear propeller shaft flange yoke and rear drive companion flange.
CAUTION:
For matching mark, use paint. Never damage propeller shaft
flange and final drive companion flange.
3. Remove the propeller shaft assembly fixing bolts.
4. Remove propeller shaft assembly from the rear final drive and transfer.
5. Perform inspection after removal. Refer to DLN-146, "
Inspec-
tion".
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
Align matching mark (A) to install propeller shaft flange yoke and
transfer companion flange.
Align matching mark (A) to install propeller shaft flange yoke and
rear final drive companion flange.
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 vibra-
tion again at each point.
If propeller shaft or final drive has been replaced, connect them as follows:
- Install the propeller shaft while aligning its matching mark (A) with
the matching mark (B) on the joint as close as possible.
Disassembly and AssemblyINFOID:0000000006222440
DISASSEMBLY
1. Put a matching mark between propeller shaft and flange yoke as shown.
CAUTION:
For matching mark, use paint. Never damage the surface.

3. Lightly tap bottom of yoke using a copper hammer and remove journal bearing.
CAUTION:
Never damage the yoke.
ASSEMBLY
1. Install journal bearing to journal.CAUTION:
Never reuse journal or journal bearing.
Always replace journal, journal b earing, and snap rings as a set.
Apply multi-purpose grease to journal bearing.
2. Install bearing (1) using a vise. CAUTION:
Never damage bearing or flange yoke.
3. Measure journal axial play. If necessary, select the appropriate snap ring.
a. While pushing to 98 N·m (10 kg-m, 72 ft-lb), check the clearance between snap ring (1) and needle bearing (2).
b. If journal axial play is outside the specification, use a thicker/ thinner snap ring to adjust.
CAUTION:
Never reuse snap ring.
Select snap rings so that thickness difference between LH
and RH is within 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Appearance
Check the propeller shaft for dents or cracks. If damage is detected, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
Propeller Shaft Runout
Check propeller shaft runout at measuring point with a dial indicator.
If runout exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly.
For measuring point, refer to DLN-142, "
Inspection".
Journal Axial Play
As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial
play of joint. If axial play exc eeds specifications, replace propeller
shaft assembly.

NOTE:
Before removing and installing any control units, first tu rn the push-button ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion, then disconnect bot h battery cables.
After finishing work, confirm that all control unit connectors are connected properly, then re-connect both
battery cables.
Always use CONSULT-III to perform self-diagnosis as a part of each function inspection after finishing work.
If a DTC is detected, perform trouble diagnos is according to self-diagnosis results.
For vehicle with steering lock unit, if the battery is disconnected or discharged, the steering wheel will lock and
cannot be turned.
If turning the steering wheel is required with the bat tery disconnected or discharged, follow the operation pro-
cedure below before starting the repair operation.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Connect both battery cables. NOTE:
Supply power using jumper cables if battery is discharged.
2. Turn the push-button ignition switch to ACC position. (At this time, the steering lock will be released.)
3. Disconnect both battery cables. The steering lock wi ll remain released with both battery cables discon-
nected and the steering wheel can be turned.
4. Perform the necessary repair operation.
5. When the repair work is completed, re-connect bot h battery cables. With the brake pedal released, turn
the push-button ignition switch from ACC position to ON position, then to LOCK position. (The steering
wheel will lock when the push-button igniti on switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of all control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Servicing Front Final DriveINFOID:0000000006222373
Before starting diagnosis of the vehicle, understand the symptoms well. Perform correct and systematic
operations.
Check for the correct installation status prior to re moval or disassembly. When matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the f unction of the parts they are applied to.
Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, a dust proof area is recommended.
Before disassembly, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of the unit, preventing them from
entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.
Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.
Avoid using cotton gloves or a shop cloth to prevent the entering of lint.
Check appearance of the disassembled parts for dam age, deformation, and abnormal wear. Replace them
with new ones if necessary.
Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the unit is disassembled.
Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow them dry.
Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.
When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mating surface; then remove any moisture, oil, and
foreign materials from the application and mating surfaces.
In principle, tighten nuts or bolts gradually in severa l steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If a
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.
During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque.
Add new differential gear oil, petroleum jelly, or multi-purpose grease, as specified.
