    7. Install the 3 bolts, 3 washers and 3 nuts.

      Torque:
      86 N*m  { 877 kgf*cm, 63 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Be careful not to damage the flexible coupling centering bushings.

      Tech Tips

      The bolts should be installed from the propeller shaft assembly side.

    8. Temporarily install the 2 center No. 1 bearing bolts and 2 washers.

      Tech Tips

      Use the washers which were removed.

  2. TIGHTEN CENTER NO. 1 SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY


    1. B004W06C02
      *a 90°

      Adjust the distance (A) between the surface of the center No. 1 support bearing assembly and the surface of the cushion to 10.5 to 12.5 mm (0.414 to 0.492 in.) as shown in illustration.

      Distance (A)
      10.5 to 12.5 mm (0.414 to 0.492 in.)

    2. Check that the center line of the bracket is at a right angle to the shaft axial direction.

    3. Tighten the 2 center No. 1 bearing bolts.

      Torque:
      49.1 N*m  { 501 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf }

  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE

    Note

    Measure the joint angle when the vehicle is raised using a four-post lift or when using a pit.

    Tech Tips

    If any vibration or noise occurs, perform the joint angle check as follows and replace the adjusting washers with a proper one.


    1. Stabilize the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly and differential.


      1. Turn the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.

      2. Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.

    2. Check the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.

      B004SZGC02
      *a No. 2 Joint Angle *b No. 3 Joint Angle

      1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly (front side) and propeller with center bearing shaft assembly (rear side).

        SST
        09370-50010

        Tech Tips

        SST should be set directly underneath the shaft.

      2. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.

        SST
        09370-50010

        Tech Tips

        Measure the installation angle by placing SST in the positions shown in the illustration.

      3. Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

        No. 2 Joint Angle
        Measurement Position No. 2 Joint Angle
        A-B for 2WD 0°05' +/- 30' (0.08° +/- 0.50°)
        for AWD 1°06' +/- 30' (1.10° +/- 0.50°)

        A: Propeller shaft assembly (front side) installation angle

        B: Propeller shaft assembly (rear side) installation angle

      4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

        No. 3 Joint Angle
        Measurement Position No. 3 Joint Angle
        B-C for 2WD 1°00' +/- 32' (1.00° +/- 0.53°)
        for AWD 1°13' +/- 32' (1.22° +/- 0.53°)

        B: Propeller shaft assembly (rear side) installation angle

        C: Differential installation angle

        If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with washers.

    3. Adjust the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.


      1. Select washers for adjustment.

        Note


        • Make sure to use a washer of the same thickness on both the right and left sides.

        • Do not use 2 or more washers on each bolt.

        Center Support Bearing Washer
        Part No. Thickness
        90201-10017 9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
        90201-10034 11.0 mm (0.433 in.)
        90201-10035 13.5 mm (0.531 in.)

  4. INSTALL NO. 2 FUEL TANK PROTECTOR


    1. Install the No. 2 fuel tank protector with the 4 bolts.

      Torque:
      5.0 N*m  { 51 kgf*cm, 44 in.*lbf }

  5. INSTALL NO.1 CENTER FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Install the No. 1 center floor heat insulator sub-assembly with the 8 nuts.

      Torque:
      5.4 N*m  { 55 kgf*cm, 48 in.*lbf }

  6. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY
