PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY(for 4GR-FSE) INSTALLATION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSTALL PROPELLER WITH CENTER BEARING SHAFT ASSEMBLY


    1. Completely remove any oil and clean the contact surfaces of the rear drive pinion companion flange and propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

    2. Remove SST from the transmission.

    3. Insert the yoke of the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly into the transmission.

      Note

      Be careful not to damage the automatic transmission extension housing oil seal.

      *a Matchmark

      Align the matchmarks on the rear drive pinion companion flange and propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

    5. Install the 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 nuts.

      Torque:
      73.5 N*m  { 749 kgf*cm, 54 ft.*lbf }

      Tech Tips

      Install the washers on the same side as the bolts.

    6. Temporarily install the 2 bolts and 2 adjusting washers.

      Tech Tips

      Use the adjusting washers which were removed.

    7. B003W2YC02
      *a 90°

      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.)

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

    9. Tighten the 2 bolts.

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

  2. 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 washer with a proper one.


    1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.


      1. Turn the propeller shaft 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.

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

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

        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 -0°54' +/- 30'

      4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

        No. 3 Joint Angle
        Measurement Position No. 3 Joint Angle
        B-C 2°02' +/- 32'

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

    3. Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.


      1. Select adjusting washers for adjustment.

        Adjusting Washer
        Part No. Thickness mm (in.)
        90201-10106 2.0 mm (0.0787 in.)
        90201-10008 4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
        90201-10033 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)
        90201-10017 9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
        90201-10034 11.0 mm (0.433 in.)

        Note


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

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

  3. INSTALL NO. 1 FUEL TANK PROTECTOR


    1. B003VFNN01

      Install the No. 1 fuel tank protector with the 4 nuts and tighten the nuts in the order shown in the illustration.

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

  4. INSTALL FRONT NO. 1 FLOOR HEAT INSULATOR


    1. Install the front No. 1 floor heat insulator with the 4 nuts.

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

  5. INSTALL FRONT EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY (TWC: Rear Catalyst)
