8.

Remove propeller shaft assembly fixing nuts, and separate pro-
peller shaft assembly from electric controlled coupling of final
drive.

9.

Remove center bearing mounting bracket mounting nuts.

10. Remove propeller shaft assembly.

11. Remove clips and then remove center bearing mounting bracket

(upper/lower).

12. Perform inspection after removal. Refer to 

DLN-189, "Inspec-

tion"

.

INSTALLATION

Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.
• For non-reusable parts, refer to 

DLN-186, "Exploded View"

.

• For each tightening torque, refer to 

DLN-186, "Exploded View"

.

• After removing propeller shaft, replace stud bolts on electric controlled coupling. Refer to 

DLN-76, "Exploded

View"

.

• Remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material from matching surface on transfer companion flange, electric

controlled coupling and propeller shaft flange.

• Install center bearing mounting bracket (upper) with its arrow mark

 facing forward.

• Adjust position of center bearing mounting bracket (upper) 

, cen-

ter bearing mounting bracket (lower) 

 sliding back and forth to

prevent play in thrust direction of center bearing insulator 

. Install

center bearing mounting bracket (upper/lower) to vehicle.

• Center bearing mounting bracket fixing nuts must be tightened in

the order from left to right.

• Align matching marks 

 to install propeller shaft flange yoke and

electric controlled coupling of final drive.

• Align matching marks 

 to install propeller shaft flange yoke and

transfer companion flange.

• If propeller shaft assembly, final drive assembly or electric controlled coupling has been replaced, connect

propeller shaft assembly and electric controlled coupling of final drive as follows:

- Install propeller shaft 

 while aligning its matching mark 

 of pro-

peller shaft with matching mark 

 on stud bolt of electric controlled

coupling 

 as close as possible.

CAUTION:

When replaced stud bolt, use the painted matching mark in
removal as a guide.

• Perform inspection after installation. Refer to 

DLN-189, "Inspec-

tion"

.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010763748

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Appearance

Check propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft
assembly.

Propeller Shaft Runout

Check propeller shaft runout at measuring points with a dial indica-
tor. If runout exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assem-
bly.

• Propeller shaft runout measuring point (Point “ ”).

Journal Axial Play

As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial
play of joint. If it is outside the standard, replace propeller shaft
assembly. 

CAUTION:

Never disassemble joints.

Center Bearing

Check center bearing for noise and damage. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:

Never disassemble center bearing.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propel-
ler shaft from final drive. Reinstall propeller shaft by changing the phase between electric controlled coupling
stud bolt and propeller shaft by the one bolt hole at a time. Then perform driving test and check propeller shaft
vibration again at each point.
