Propeller Shaft Removal Note
CAUTION:
-
Do not mark with a punch to prevent imbalance.
1. Before removing the nut, place alignment marks on the companion flange (front) and constant velocity joint, and on the coupling component (rear) and yoke.
2. Loosen the nuts (front, rear, center bearing support).
3. Remove the front and rear nuts.
CAUTION:
-
Propeller shaft is attached to the stud.
4. Press the propeller shaft and remove it from the rear side.
CAUTION:
-
Do not bend the propeller shaft to the extent that it interferes with the boot.
5. Remove the center bearing support nut, then remove the propeller shaft
Propeller Shaft Installation Note
CAUTION:
-
If the nuts are loosened, verify that the stud bolt tightening torque against the coupling is 6.4 N {0.65 kgf, 1.4 lbf} or more. If the tightening torque is less than 6.4 N·m {65 kgf·cm, 57 in·lbf}, tighten the stud bolt with 6.4—9.6 N·m {66—97 kgf·cm, 57—84 in·lbf}.
-
When loosening the nut, if a nut is stuck to a stud bolt, replace the stud bolt with a new one.
-
When replacing the stud bolts, clean off oil and foreign matter on the bolts and coupling installation areas in advance.
NOTE:
-
The stud bolts are entirely threaded with no front/rear distinction.
1. Degrease the tightening area.
2. Align the alignment marks, and temporarily install the nuts (front, rear, center bearing support).
CAUTION:
-
Do not bend the propeller shaft to the extent that it interferes with the boot.
3. Tighten the nut (front) with specified torque first, and then install the other nuts.
4. Perform a road test and verify that there is no abnormal vibration or noise.

EBD control uses the ABS system to control brake fluid pressure distribution
to the rear wheels so that they do not lock-up prior to the front wheels during
braking, thereby preventing the loss of handling stability.
