INSTALL SPIDER BEARING
Install the grease fitting onto the spider section.
Apply a sufficient amount of MP grease to the spider journal section.
Remove the old grease in the bearing case and needle roller and apply a sufficient amount of MP grease.
Apply MP grease to the bearing case lip and both sides of the thrust washer.
Insert the thrust washer and needle roller into the bearing case.
Measure the size of groove (A) of the retainer ring of the yoke.
After inserting the thrust washer and spider bearing into the spider journal section, measure the size of the universal joint (B).
Tech Tips
Size (B) should be measured with the universal joint fixed in a vise because the spider and spider bearing will become stuck.
Note
Do not overtighten the vise.
Select the thickness of the retainer ring to make sizes (A) and (B) equal.

INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
Insert the spider into the yoke. Using a vise, press the spider bearing into the end of the retainer ring.
Press in the spider bearing on the other side using the same procedures.
Note
Be careful not to damage the spider bearing lip while pressing.
Using snap ring pliers, install the retainer ring.
INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT FLANGE
Using a spring tension gauge, hang the hook of the spring tension gauge on the bolt hole of the flange yoke and measure the rotating torque.
| Standard rotating torque (at starting) |
|---|
| 0.8 to 2.9 N (0.082 to 0.296 kgf, 0.180 to 0.651 lbf) |
Note
Measure the rotating torque at 2 positions of the universal joint in direction A (flange yoke side) and direction B (flange yoke side).
When the rotating torque is less than the standard, use a thicker retainer ring, and when it is greater, use a thinner retainer ring.
| Part No. | Thickness mm (in.) | Identification (Color) |

| 90035-21044 | 1.50 (0.0591) | White |
| 90035-21043 | 1.53 (0.0602) | Red |

INSTALL DUST SEAL
Place the outside of the dust seal on the gap of the dust seal cover and push in the seal.
Note
Install the seal so that the lip faces outside.
After installation, check that the outside of the dust seal contacts the dust cover.
Apply grease to the dust seal oil lip.
INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SLEEVE YOKE
Remove the old grease from the spline and sliding sections.
Remove the rust and dirt from the spline sections.
Apply bearing grease to the spline and sliding sections.
Align the matchmarks of the propeller shaft and sleeve yoke, and insert the sleeve yoke.
Note
Phase marks are imprinted on each yoke. Install the sleeve yoke so that the matchmarks of the propeller shaft and sleeve yoke are aligned.
Install the grease fitting.
Check that the directions of the phase marks and grease nipple of each joint are as shown in the illustration.
INSTALL DUST DEFLECTOR
Using SST and a hammer, tap a new dust deflector into the intermediate shaft.
Note
Do not deform the dust cover.
Using SST and a hammer, tap a new dust deflector into the universal joint flange.
INSTALL NO. 1 CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY
Apply MP grease to the inside of the center bearing.
Using SST and a hammer, tap in the center bearing.
Note
When driving in the center bearing, pay attention not to damage it.
Install the bearing plate and cushion rubber.
Secure the bolt and install the 4 nuts.
INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT FLANGE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Align the matchmarks on the flange coupling and intermediate shaft to install the flange coupling.
Tech Tips
Install the flange coupling so that the phase marks of the flange coupling and the shaft are aligned.
Using a socket wrench (41 mm), tighten a new lock nut.
Using a chisel and hammer, stake the lock nut.
Note
Stake the 2 lock nuts, aligning them with the cutout of the shaft.
