CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
When using a vise, place aluminum plates between the part and vise.
When using a vise, do not overtighten it.
PROCEDURE
INSTALL UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY
Use the same procedure for both universal joint spider assemblies.
Apply grease to a new spider and new spider bearings.
| Grease |
|---|
| Lithium base chassis grease NLGI No. 2 |
Do not apply too much grease.
Install the spider to the flange yoke.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
Using SST, install 2 of the spider bearings to the universal joint spider assembly.
| 09332-25010 |
Before installing SST, sufficiently raise the part labeled A. If the part labeled A is too low, it may be difficult to install SST.
Using SST, adjust both spider bearings so that the snap ring grooves are as wide as possible and equal in width.
| 09332-25010 |
Install 2 new snap rings to the installed spider bearings. The snap rings must have equal thickness and allow 0 to 0.05 mm (0 to 0.00196 in.) of axial play.
While the installed snap rings should have equal thickness, if the axial play is greater than 0.05 mm (0.00196 in.), select 2 snap rings that have as close to the same thickness as possible.
Do not reuse the snap rings.
| Standard Snap Ring Thickness | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Use a new snap ring.
Use a snap ring with as close to the same thickness as possible on both ends.
| *a | Hammering Point |
Using a hammer, tap the flange yoke until there is no clearance between the spider bearing outer race and snap ring.
Install the spider bearing on the sleeve side using the procedure described above.
Align the matchmarks on the flange yoke and front propeller shaft assembly.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
Using SST, install the 2 spider bearings to the universal joint spider assembly.

Use a new snap ring.
Use snap rings with as close to the same thickness as possible on both ends.
| *a | Hammering Point |
Using a hammer, tap the front propeller shaft assembly until there is no clearance between the spider bearing outer race and snap ring.
Install the spider bearing on the sleeve side using the procedure described above.
INSTALL SLIDING SHAFT BOOT
| *1 | Propeller Shaft Boot Clamp |
| *2 | Sliding Shaft Boot |
| *a | Matchmark of Front Propeller Shaft Assembly and Sleeve Yoke |
| *b | Matchmark of Pinching Portion of Propeller Shaft Boot Clamp |
| *c | Pinching Portion |
Temporarily install a new sliding shaft boot to the front propeller shaft assembly with 2 new propeller shaft boot clamps.
Coat the splines of the front propeller shaft assembly with MP grease.
| Standard Grease Capacity |
|---|
| 7.0 to 10.0 g (0.25 to 0.35 oz) |
Align the matchmarks on the front propeller shaft assembly and sleeve yoke.
Install the sleeve yoke to the front propeller shaft assembly and connect the sliding shaft boot.
Align the matchmarks on the front propeller shaft assembly, sleeve yoke and the pinching portions of the 2 propeller shaft boot clamps.
Make sure to align the matchmarks of the propeller shaft boot clamp.
If the pinching portions are installed at different locations than where they were located before disassembly, the rotational balance of the front propeller shaft assembly cannot be ensured, which may result in vibrations and noise.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
Secure one of the propeller shaft boot clamps to the sliding shaft boot.
Use the same procedure for each propeller shaft boot clamp.
Make sure that the matchmarks of the pinching portion of the propeller shaft boot clamp are aligned.
Install SST to the propeller shaft boot clamp, and then while pressing the sliding shaft boot, slightly tighten the SST bolt.
| 09521-24010 |
Correctly set the propeller shaft boot clamp to the guide groove.
Do not damage the sliding shaft boot.
Tighten SST so that the propeller shaft boot clamp is pinched.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.8 mm (0.0314 in.) or less |
When tightening SST, make sure the clearance of the propeller shaft boot clamp is within the standard clearance.
Do not damage the sliding shaft boot.
Remove SST from the propeller shaft boot clamp.
Using SST, measure the clearance of the propeller shaft boot clamp.
| 09240-00020 |
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0.8 mm (0.0314 in.) or less |
If the measured value exceeds the specified value, retighten the propeller shaft boot clamp.
INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT GREASE FITTING DIRECTION
When replacing a spider bearing, be sure that the grease fitting hole is facing the direction shown in the illustration.
Fill the grease fittings with grease.
