ASSEMBLY REMOVAL

CAUTION

Remove the front propeller shaft assembly <4WD> in a 
straight and level manner so as to ensure that the boot is 
not damaged through pinching.
1. Place a mating mark on the differential companion flange 

and flange yoke and remove the propeller shaft.
NOTE: Damage to the boot can be avoided, and the work 
will be easier, if a piece of shop towel or similar material is 
inserted in the boot.

2. Use the plug as a cover so that no foreign material gets into 

the transmission or transfer.

ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• Tighten the installation bolts after removing oil and 

grease from threads to prevent them from loosening 
due to lubrication.

• Be careful not to damage the lip section of the transfer 

case oil seal when installing the propeller shaft.

1. To reuse the propeller shaft, align the mating marks that 

were made during removal, and then install the propeller 
shaft assembly to the companion flange.

2. When installing a new rear propeller shaft assembly, install it 

so that the mark on the propeller shaft tube and the mark at 
the side of the differential companion flange come nearest 
(within 30-degree angle).

Tightening torque: 98
