PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY


  1. REMOVE CENTER NO. 1 SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY (for Pre-Runner)


    1. A01J33DE02

      Place matchmarks on the flange coupling and flange yoke.

    2. Remove the 4 nuts and 4 washers.

    3. Disconnect the propeller shaft and intermediate shaft.

    4. Fix the flange coupling at the center bearing section in a vise.

    5. A01J4PJE01

      Using a chisel and hammer, loosen the staked part of the lock nut.

      Note

      Loosen the staked part of the lock nut completely. If not, the screw of the intermediate shaft may be damaged.

    6. A01J5LVE02

      Using SST and a socket wrench, remove the lock nut and washer.

      SST
      09330-00021
    7. A01J41YE01

      Place matchmarks on the intermediate shaft and flange coupling.

    8. A01J75VE02

      Using SST, remove the flange coupling from the intermediate shaft.

      SST
      09950-30012   ( 09951-03010, 09953-03010, 09954-03010, 09955-03030, 09956-03030 )

    9. Remove the center support bearing.

  2. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT AND INTERMEDIATE SHAFT (for Pre-Runner)


    1. A01J6DZE02

      Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft and intermediate shaft runout.

      Maximum Runout
      Item Specified Condition
      Propeller shaft 0.3 mm (0.0118 in.)
      Intermediate shaft 0.5 mm (0.0197 in.)

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

  3. INSPECT REAR PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY (for 4WD)


    1. A01J4GL

      Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout.

      Maximum runout
      0.3 mm (0.0118 in.)

      If the shaft runout is more than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.

  4. INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY


    1. Check the spider bearings for wear or damage.

    2. Check each spider bearing's axial play by turning the yoke while holding the shaft tightly.

      Maximum bearing axial play
      0 to 0.05 mm (0 to 0.00197 in.)

      If the bearing axial play is more than the maximum, replace the spider bearing.

  5. INSPECT CENTER NO. 1 SUPPORT BEARING ASSEMBLY (for Pre-Runner)


    1. A01J6ZEE01

      When turning the center bearing with your hand, check that it turns smoothly without catching, and that there are no cracks or damage.

      If there are any defects, replace the center bearing.

      If there is any damage to the lip of the center bearing case, replace it.

  6. REMOVE UNIVERSAL JOINT SPIDER ASSEMBLY


    1. A01J584E01

      Place matchmarks on the yoke and shaft.

    2. A01J7LGE01

      Using a brass bar and hammer, slightly tap in the spider bearing outer races.

    3. Using 2 screwdrivers, remove the 4 snap rings from the grooves.

    4. Clamp the shaft in a vise between aluminum plates.

    5. A01J347E11

      Using SST, push the yoke side spider bearing until: 1) the spider almost touches the yoke or shaft, and 2) the spider bearing on the opposite side is partially pushed out.

      SST
      09332-25010

      Tech Tips

      Before installing SST, sufficiently raise the part labeled A. If part A is too low, SST may be difficult to install.

    6. A01J4V5E07

      Clamp the pushed out spider bearing outer race between aluminum plates in a vise and tap the shaft to remove the spider bearing.

      Note

      Do not tap the shaft tube.

      Tech Tips

      Remove the spider bearing on the opposite side of the spider using the same procedure.

    7. Remove the yoke and spider from the shaft.

    8. Reinstall the 2 removed spider bearings to the spider and clamp the spider bearings between aluminum plates in a vise.

    9. A01J430E09

      Using SST, push the yoke side spider bearing until: 1) the spider almost touches the yoke, and 2) the spider bearing on the opposite side is partially pushed out.

      SST
      09332-25010

      Tech Tips

      Before installing SST, sufficiently raise the part labeled A. If part A is too low, SST may be difficult to install.

    10. A01J5RME08

      Clamp the pushed out spider bearing outer race between aluminum plates in a vise and tap the yoke to remove the spider bearing.

      Tech Tips

      Remove the spider bearing on the opposite side of the spider using the same procedure.

    11. Remove the spider from the yoke.

      Tech Tips

      Remove the other universal joint spider(s) using the same procedures.
