INSTALL SPIDER BEARING
| *a | 45° |
Install the grease fitting onto the spider section.
Note
Install the grease fitting so that the hole is oriented as shown in the illustration.

Install the 4 spider bearings to the universal joint spider assembly.
Measure the size of groove A of the rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring of the universal joint sleeve yoke.
After inserting the spider bearing into the spider journal section, measure the size of universal joint B.
Tech Tips
Size B should be measured with the universal joint fixed in a vise because the universal joint spider assembly and spider bearing will become stuck.
| *a | Identification Paint |
Select the thickness of the rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring that makes sizes A and B equal.
| Part No. | Thickness mm (in.) | Identification (Color) |
|---|---|---|
| 90035-21044 | 1.50 (0.0591) | White |

| 90035-21038 | 1.68 (0.0661) | Orange |
Remove the 4 spider bearings from the universal joint spider assembly.
INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
| *1 | Flange yoke |
| *2 | Universal joint spider assembly |
| *3 | Grease fitting |
Insert the universal joint spider assembly into the flange yoke. Using a vise, press the spider bearing into the end of the rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring.
Note
Be sure the spider bearing is inserted in the proper direction.
Do not insert the spider bearing at an angle.
Do not damage the rib of the spider bearing.
Tech Tips
Insert the spider bearing until it reaches the bottom of the groove where the rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring is installed.
Press in the spider bearing on the other side using the same procedure.
Using snap ring pliers, install the rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring.
INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT FLANGE
Insert the hook of a spring tension gauge into a bolt hole in the flange yoke and measure the rotating torque.
Note
Measure the rotating torque of the universal joint in two directions, A and B, on the flange yoke side.
| *a | Identification Paint |
When the rotating torque is less than the standard, use a thicker rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring, and when it is greater, use a thinner rear propeller shaft joint spider bearing snap ring.
| Part No. | Thickness mm (in.) | Identification (Color) |

INSTALL DUST SEAL
| *1 | Dust seal |
| *2 | Dust cover |
Install a new dust seal to the universal joint sleeve yoke.
Note
Install the dust seal so that the lip faces outwards.
After installation, check that the outside of the dust seal contacts the dust cover.
Apply MP grease to the dust seal lip.
INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SLEEVE YOKE SUB-ASSEMBLY
Remove the old grease from the spline and sliding sections.
Remove the rust and dirt from the spline sections.
Apply MP grease to the spline and sliding sections.
| *a | Matchmark |
Align the matchmarks of the sliding yoke and universal joint sleeve yoke, and insert the universal joint sleeve yoke.
Note
Phase marks are imprinted on each yoke. Install the universal joint sleeve yoke so that the matchmarks of the sliding yoke and universal joint sleeve yoke are aligned.
Install the grease fitting.
| *1 | Grease fitting |
| *a | Phase mark |
Check that the directions of the phase marks and grease fitting of each joint are as shown in the illustration.
INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT DUST DEFLECTOR
Using SST and a hammer, tap a new No. 1 propeller shaft dust deflector into the propeller intermediate shaft assembly.
Note
Do not deform the No. 1 propeller shaft dust deflector.
Using SST and a hammer, tap a new No. 5 propeller shaft dust deflector into the universal joint flange sub-assembly.
Note
Do not deform the No. 5 propeller shaft dust deflector.
INSTALL CENTER NO. 1 SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY
Apply MP grease to the inside of the center No. 1 support bearing.
