Install the Rear No. 2 drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH onto the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot LH.
| *a | Hold |
| *b | Turn |
Place SST onto the rear No. 2 drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH, press it against the boot and slightly tighten SST.
Tighten SST so that the rear No. 2 drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH is pinched.
Note
Do not overtighten SST.
Remove SST.
Using SST, measure the clearance of the rear No. 2 drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH.
| Clearance |
|---|
| 0.8 mm (0.0315 in.) or less |
If the clearance is outside the specified range, retighten SST.
INSTALL REAR DRIVE SHAFT OUTBOARD JOINT BOOT CLAMP LH
Install the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH onto the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot LH.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
Place SST onto the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH.
Tighten SST so that the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH is pinched.
Note
Do not overtighten SST.
Be careful not to damage the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot LH.
Using SST, measure the clearance of the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH.
| Clearance |
|---|
| 0.8 mm (0.0315 in.) or less |
Note
If the measured value exceeds the specified value, retighten the rear drive shaft outboard joint boot clamp LH.
INSTALL REAR DRIVE SHAFT INBOARD JOINT ASSEMBLY LH
Wrap the spline of the rear drive outboard joint shaft assembly with protective tape to prevent the boot from being damaged.
| *1 | Rear drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH |
| *2 | Rear Drive Shaft Inboard Joint Boot LH |
| *3 | Rear No. 2 drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH |
| *4 | Protective Tape |
|
Outboard joint side |
|
Inboard joint side |
Install new parts to the rear drive outboard joint shaft assembly in the following order:
Rear drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH
Rear Drive Shaft Inboard Joint Boot LH
Rear No. 2 drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH
Secure the drive shaft in a vise between aluminum plates.
Note
Do not overtighten the vise.
Remove the protective tape.
| *a | Matchmark |
Align the matchmarks and install the tripod joint to the rear drive outboard joint shaft assembly.
Note
Face the serrated side of the tripod joint outward and install it to the outboard joint end.
Using a brass bar and a hammer, install the tripod joint to the rear drive outboard joint shaft assembly.
Note
Do not tap the rollers.
Keep the tripod joint free of foreign matter.
Make sure to install the tripod joint in the correct direction.
Using a snap ring expander, install a new rear drive shaft snap ring LH to the rear drive outboard joint shaft assembly.
Pack the rear drive inboard joint assembly and rear drive shaft inboard joint boot LH with grease.
| Standard grease capacity |
|---|
| 114 to 124 g (4.22 to 4.37 oz.) |
| *a | Lip |
Install a new rear axle inboard joint grommet to the rear drive outboard joint shaft assembly.
Note
Securely fit the protrusion on the rear axle inboard joint grommet into the rear drive shaft inboard joint assembly.
Make sure that the lip of the rear axle inboard joint grommet is not damaged.
| *a | Matchmark |
Align the matchmarks and install the rear drive shaft inboard joint assembly LH to the rear drive shaft outboard joint shaft assembly.
INSTALL REAR DRIVE SHAFT INBOARD JOINT BOOT LH
Install the rear drive shaft inboard joint boot LH to the rear drive inboard joint assembly LH.
Check whether the drive shaft dimensions are within the following specifications.
Tech Tips
The following table shows the dimension (A) of the drive shaft.
| Dimension (A) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
INSTALL REAR DRIVE SHAFT INBOARD JOINT BOOT CLAMP LH
Hold the drive shaft lightly in a vise between aluminum plates.
Note
Do not overtighten the vise.
Install the rear drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH to the rear drive shaft inboard joint boot LH.
| *a | Turn |
| *b | Hold |
Place SST onto the rear drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH.
Tighten SST so that the rear drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH is pinched.
Note
Do not overtighten SST.
Using SST, measure the clearance of the rear drive shaft inboard joint boot clamp LH.
| Clearance |
|---|
| 0.8 mm (0.0315 in.) or less |
Note
