    NOTE:
    • Do not reuse mounting bolts.
    • When retightening the propeller shaft mounting bolts after removing them, each bolt and washer must be placed in its original position and bolt insertion direction must be the same as before, so make marks not to allow the bolts and washers to be mixed up before removing the propeller shaft.
    • 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.
    • When removing the propeller shaft, after removing the transfer assembly side or the rear differential side, if the propeller shaft is left down, the internal parts may be damaged.
  3. Make the alignment marks on the rubber coupling of the propeller and companion, and the corresponding marks on the differential carrier, and then remove the propeller shaft tightening bolt.
