• Inspect the propeller shaft runout. If runout exceeds the limit,

replace the propeller shaft assembly. Refer to 

DLN-148, "General

Specification"

.

• While holding the flange yoke on one side, check axial play of the

joint as shown. If the journal axial play exceeds the specification,
repair or replace the journal parts. Refer to 

DLN-148, "General

Specification"

.

• Check the propeller shaft tube for dents or cracks. If damage is

detected, replace the propeller shaft assembly.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle. Refer to 

DLN-142, "NVH Troubleshooting Chart"

.

• If propeller shaft assembly or final drive assembly has been

replaced, connect them as follows:

- Face companion flange mark (A) of the final drive (1) upward. With

the mark (A) faced upward, couple the propeller shaft and the final
drive so that the matching mark (B) of the propeller shaft (2) can be
positioned as closest as possible with the matching mark (C) of the
final drive companion flange.

- Tighten propeller shaft and final drive bolts and nuts to specifica-

tions. Refer to 

DLN-144, "Removal and Installation"

.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always install new ones.

DISASSEMBLY

Journal

1.

Put matching marks on the rear propeller shaft and flange yoke
as shown.

CAUTION:

For matching marks use paint. Never damage the rear pro-
peller shaft or flange yoke.

2.

Remove the snap rings.

3.

Push out and remove the journal bearings by lightly tapping the
flange yoke with a hammer, taking care not to damage the jour-
nal or flange yoke hole.
NOTE:
Put marks on the disassembled parts so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were removed.

4.

Push out and remove the remaining journal bearings at the
opposite side by lightly tapping the flange yoke with a hammer,
taking care not to damage the journal or flange yoke hole.
NOTE:
Put marks on the disassembled parts so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were removed.

Journal

1.

Assemble the journal bearings. Apply multipurpose grease on
the bearing inner surface.
NOTE:
During assembly, use caution so that the needle bearings do not
fall down.

2.

Select new snap rings that will provide the specified play in an
axial direction of the journal, and install them. Refer to 

DLN-148,

"Snap Ring"

.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse snap rings
NOTE:
Select snap rings with a difference in thickness at both sides
within 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).

3.

Adjust the thrust clearance between the bearing and snap ring
to zero by tapping the yoke.

4.

Make sure that the journal moves smoothly and is below the
propeller joint flex effort specification. Refer to 

DLN-148, "Gen-

eral Specification"

.
