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.
