2. Align the matchmarks on the transmission companion flange and flexible coupling.
3. Install and tighten the 3 bolts, 3 washers and 3 nuts.

   Torque: 79 N*m (805 kgf*cm, 58 ft.*lbf) 

   NOTE: Be careful not to damage the flexible coupling centering bushing.

   HINT:

   The bolts should be installed from the propeller shaft side.

4. Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.

   SST 09922-10010 

   Torque: 

   When not using SST 

   69 N*m (700 kgf*cm, 51 ft.*lbf) 

   When using SST 

   51 N*m (520 kgf*cm, 38 ft.*lbf) 

   HINT:

   Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (13.6 in.).

1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
   1. Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.
2. Check both the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.
   1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.

      SST 09370-50010 

      HINT:

      The SST should be set directly on the bottom of the shaft.

   2. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.

      HINT:

      Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the positions shown in the illustration.

   3. Calculate the No. 2 joint angle.

      No. 2 joint angle: 

      A - B = -0°49' to -1°49' 

      A: 

      Intermediate shaft installation angle 

      B: 

      Propeller shaft installation angle 

   4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

      No. 3 joint angle: 

      B - C = 0°70' to 2°10' 

      B: 

      Propeller shaft installation angle 

      C: 

      Differential installation angle 

      HINT:

      If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with the center support bearing washers.

3. Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.
   1. Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment
