Repair procedures

Removal
  
•
Be careful not to damage the parts located under the vehicle (floor under cover, fuel filter, fuel tank and canister) when raising the vehicle using the lift.
(Refer to General Information - "Lift and Support Points")
1.
After making a match mark on the flange yoke and transaxle companion, remove the propeller shaft mounting bolts (A).
Tightening torque :
53.9 - 68.6 N.m (5.5 - 7.0 kgf.m, 39.8 - 50.6 lb-ft)
  
•
Use a hexagon socket to prevent damage to the head when removing and installing bolts.
•
Mark the location and direction of bolt and washer before removing the propeller shaft.
•
Installing the bolt and washer differently from the initial state can result in unbalanced propeller shaft causing abnormal vibration of propeller shaft at high speed.
•
If abnormal vibration and noise occur at high vehicle speeds after replacing propeller shaft with a new one, balance the propeller shaft with a balancing machine.
•
The bolt is a special bolt applied with bond, so do not reuse.

2.
Remove the bracket (A) after loosening the mounting bolts.

3.
Loosen the center bearing bracket mounting bolts (A).
Tightening torque :
53.9 - 68.6 N.m (5.5 - 7.0 kgf.m, 39.8 - 50.6 lb-ft)
  
•
Mark the location and direction of bolt and washer before removing the propeller shaft.
•
Installing the bolt and washer differently from the initial state can result in unbalanced propeller shaft causing abnormal vibration of propeller shaft at high speed.

4.
After making a match mark on the constant velocity joint and rear differential companion, remove the propeller shaft mounting bolts (A).
