IN-VEHICLE INSPECTION
Ensure that the universal joint section of the propeller shaft ex-
hibits no excessive play by turning it by your hand in up-and-
down and right-and-left directions.
If any excessive play exists, replace the propeller shaft with a
new one.

REMOVAL Front
1. Jack up the vehicle and support it with safety stands. (As
for the jacking-up points and supporting points for safety
Mating marks
stands, refer to the GI section in this service manual.)
2. Put mate marks on the flange yoke and companion flange,
respectively.

3. Remove the two attaching bolts of the center support

bearing and support the center bearing with a suitable
hanger or jack, etc., so that no bending force may be ap-
plied to the center support. (For rear propeller shaft)
CAUTION:
• Never apply the bending force to the center bearing
and No. 2 joint of the rear propeller shaft.

JPR00005-00005

4. Loosen the attaching bolts of the flange yoke evenly.

5. Remove the propeller shaft assembly by removing the at-
taching bolts and disconnect it from the transfer case.
NOTE:
• Prior to disconnection of the propeller shaft from the
transfer case, drain the transfer oil from the transfer
case or prepare a suitable oil stopper and install it im-
mediately after disconnection of the propeller shaft, for
quite large amount of the transfer oil will flow out.

INSPECTION
Front & rear
1. Check the propeller shaft for evidence of damage or
bend.
Limit of bend: 0.5 mm

JPR00007-00007

2. Check the spider bearing cup-fitting section for damage.

JPR00008-00008

3. Check the flange yoke and sleeve yoke.

(1) Inspect to see whether any damage is present at the
differential drive pinion companion flange-contact sec-
tion A.
(2) Check the oil seal sliding section B for damage or
wear.
(3) Check the spline C for damage or wear.
(4) Fit the sleeve yoke onto the sliding spline of the trans-
mission output shaft.
Ensure that the spline exhibits no looseness in the ro-
tating direction and the sleeve can slide freely in the JPR00009-00009

axial direction on the spline.

4. Check the universal joint for looseness as follows:
(1) Check the spider for looseness in an axial direction.
(2) Check the spider for looseness in a right-angled-direc-
tion.
(3) Check the spider for smooth rotation.
If any damage is found, replace the propeller shaft with a
new one.

5. Check of universal joint preload Front
(1) Hook a spring scale at the bolt hole of the flange yoke
as well as at the sleeve yoke end.
(2) Gently pull the spring scale to measure the starting
torque.
Starting Torque: 0.029 - 1.47 N·m (0.003 - 0.15 kgf-m)

Replace the propeller shaft, if the preload fails to meet the

specified value.

INSTALLATION
1. Apply the specified transmission fluid to both the inner
and outer sides of the sleeve.
Specified Gear Oil
Grade: API GL-3 or GL-4
Viscosity: SAE 75W-85 or 75W-90
Propeller shaft
assenbly
2. Insert the propeller shaft assembly into the output shaft of
the transfer case.
CAUTION:
JPR00012-00013
• Never insert the propeller shaft to the transfer case by
force. Failure to observe this caution may damage the
bush or oil seal in the transfer case.
• Never apply the bending force to the center bearing
and No. 2 joint of the rear propeller shaft.

3. Assemble the propeller shaft while aligning it with the mat-

ing mark put on the companion flange of the differential.
(As for the illustration, refer to the disassembling proce-
dure.)
CAUTION:
• Never insert the propeller shaft into the transfer case
by force. Failure to observe this caution may damage
the bush or oil seal in the transfer case.
• Never apply the bending force to the center bearing
and No. 2 joint of the rear propeller shaft.

4. Install the propeller shaft yoke flange to the flange of the
differential with new four attaching bolts with washers.
CAUTION :
• Be sure to clean the attaching surface of the yoke and
flange properly. Failure to observe this caution may
lead to propeller shaft vibration or damage, etc.

5. Tighten the attaching bolts evenly over two or three stages

to the specified tightening torque.
Tightening Torque: 60.3 ± 9.5 N·m (6.15 ± 0.95 kgf-m)

6. Temporarily install the center support with two attaching

bolts.

7. Ensure that the clearance between the center bearing

support rubber and the dust cover is within the specified Center bearing
value. support rubber
Specified clearance: 6 mm or more at installation.

If the clearance fails to meet the specified value, adjust

the clearance by adjusting the center support attaching
position.

8. Tighten the attaching bolts to the specified tightening

torque evenly in two or three stages.
Tightening Torque: 36.8 ± 7.3 N·m (3.75 ± 0.75 kgf-m)

9. Check and fill the specified transfer oil to the transfer

case.
(Refer to the TR section.)
10. While turning the propeller shaft, ensure that the propeller

shaft turns smoothly without exhibiting abnormal noise
and/or binding.
11. Jack down the vehicle and check the clearance between
the center support rubber and the dust cover.
12. Ensure that the clearance between the center bearing JPR00016-00015
support rubber and the dust cover is within the specified
value.
Specified clearance: 10 mm or more

If the clearance fails to meet the specified value, adjust

the clearance by adjusting the center support attaching
position. Then, tighten the attaching bolts to the specified
tightening torque.
