      Temporarily install the 2 bolts with the adjusting washers.

      Tech Tips

      Use the adjusting washers which were removed.

  2. TIGHTEN NO. 1 CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY


    1. A01H1NCE02

      Adjust the distance (A) between the surface of the center support bearing and the surface of the cushion to 11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.) as shown in illustration.

      Distance (A)
      11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.)
    2. A01H1G9E01

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

    3. A01GXUQ

      Tighten the 2 bolts.

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

      Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.

      SST
      09922-10010
      Torque:
      without SST
      69 N*m  { 704 kgf*cm, 51 ft.*lbf }
      with SST
      51 N*m  { 520 kgf*cm, 38 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips


      • Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 34.5 cm (1.13 ft.).

      • Make sure SST and wrench are connected in a straight line.

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


    1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.


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

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


      1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.

        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.

        A01H185E01

      3. Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

        Standard No. 2 joint angle
        Vehicle Model A - B
        for Standard Body -0°23' to 0°31'
        for Long Body -0°25' to 0°29'

        Tech Tips

        A = Intermediate shaft installation angle

        B = Propeller shaft installation angle

      4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

        Standard No. 3 joint angle
        Vehicle Model B - C
        for Standard Body 1°05' to 1°59'
        for Long Body 0°55' to 1°49'

        Tech Tips

        B = Propeller shaft installation angle

        C = Differential installation angle

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

    3. Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.


      1. Select an appropriate center support bearing washer thickness from the table below, and obtain a washer set.

        Standard adjustment washer
        Thickness
        2.0 mm (0.0787 in.)
        4.5 mm (0.1772 in.)
        6.5 mm (0.2559 in.)
        9.0 mm (0.3543 in.)
        11.0 mm (0.4331 in.)

        Note


        • Each set contains 2 washers.

        • Using the washer set, perform the adjustment.

  4. INSTALL PROPELLER SHAFT HEAT INSULATOR


    1. Install the propeller shaft heat insulator with the 2 bolts.

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

  5. INSTALL FRONT FLOOR NO. 1 HEAT INSULATOR


    1. Install the heat insulator with the 6 nuts.

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