INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
Apply MP grease to a new spider and 4 new bearings.
Fit the spider into the yoke.
Using SST, install the 2 spider bearings to the spider.
Using SST, adjust the spider bearings so that: 1) the yoke does not overlap the snap ring grooves of the spider bearings, and the grooves are as wide as possible; and 2) the groove width on both sides is the same.
Install 2 new snap rings to the installed spider bearings. The snap rings must have an equal thickness which will allow 0 to 0.05 mm (0 to 0.00197 in.) axial play.

Note
New snap rings must be used.
The snap ring thickness must be the same on both ends.
Using a hammer, tap the yoke until there is no clearance between the spider bearings and snap rings.
Align the matchmarks on the yoke and shaft.
Install 2 spider bearings on the shaft side.
Install the other universal joint spider(s) using the same procedures.
INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
Check the spider bearings for wear or damage.
If any of the bearings is worn or damaged, replace it.
Check each spider bearing's axial play by turning the yoke while holding the shaft tightly.
Maximum bearing axial play |
---|
0.05 mm (0.00197 in.) |
If the bearing axial play is more than the maximum, replace the spider bearing.
INSTALL CENTER NO. 1 SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY (for Pre-Runner)
Install the center support bearing to the intermediate shaft.
Coat the splines of the intermediate shaft with MP grease.
Align the matchmarks on the flange coupling and intermediate shaft, and install the flange coupling to the intermediate shaft.
Install the washer.
Using SST to hold the flange coupling, press the bearing into position by installing a new lock nut.
Loosen the lock nut.
Tighten the lock nut again.
Using a chisel and hammer, stake the lock nut.
Align the matchmarks on the flange yoke and flange coupling, and connect them with the 4 washers and 4 nuts.
Note
If any parts with matchmarks is replaced during inspection, reassemble them so that the yoke (for Pre-Runner: sleeve yoke, for 4WD: flange yoke) of the intermediate shaft and the rear flange yoke of the propeller shaft are at right angles to each other.
INSPECT PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY
When the spider bearing is replaced, be sure that the grease fitting holes are facing the direction shown in the illustration.
