PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 2 Joint Type) REASSEMBLY


  1. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY REAR

    A01KF3E

    1. Using a dial indicator, check the shaft runout.

      Maximum runout
      Length of propeller shaft tube
      800 mm more than
      0.4 mm (0.016 in.)
      800 mm less than
      0.3 mm (0.012 in.)

      If the shaft runout is greater than maximum, replace the shaft.

  2. INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY

    A01KFAV

    1. Apply MP grease to a new spider and bearings.

    2. Install the bearing case with needle roller bearing to the spider.

    3. Align the matchmarks on the yoke with the one the sleeve.

    4. Fit the spider into the yoke.

    5. A01KGAFE01

      Using SST, install the bearings on the spider.

      SST
      09332-25010

    6. Using SST, adjust both bearings so that the snap ring grooves are at maximum and equal in width.

      SST
      09332-25010
    7. A01KGTH

      Install the 4 new snap rings of equal thickness which will allow no axial play.

      Tech Tips

      Do not reuse the snap rings.

      Thickness of snap ring (Both ends thin type)
      Mark Thickness mm (in.)
      - 1.985 - 2.015 (0.781 - 0.793)
      Light Brown 2.015 - 2.045 (0.793 - 0.805)
      Blue 2.045 - 2.075 (0.805 - 0.817)
      - 2.075 - 2.105 (0.817 - 0.829)

      Note


      • Must use a new retainer ring.

      • Must use retainer rings of the same thickness as possible on both ends.

    8. Using a hammer, tap the yoke until there is no clearance between the bearing outer race and snap ring.

      Tech Tips

      Install a new spider bearing on the sleeve side in the procedure described above.

  3. INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY

    A01KFH1

    1. 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 force.

      Standard rotating torque (at starting)
      2KD-FTV
      0.5 - 2.8 N*m (5.1 - 28.5 kgf*cm, 4.4 - 24.7 in.*lbf)
      Except 2KD-FTV
      Maximum 1.1 N*m (11.2 kgf*cm, 9.68 in.*lbf)

      Note

      Measurement of rotating force should be done at 2 positions for each universal joint by 90° on the opposite directions (flange yoke side and end yoke side). When the rotating force is lighter than the standard, use one lank thicker retainer ring and one lank thinner retainer ring when it is heavier.

  4. INSPECT REAR PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY

    Tech Tips

    When replacing the spider bearing, be sure that the grease fitting assembly hole is facing to the direction shown in the illustration.

    Tech Tips

    Fill up the grease fitting with MP grease.
