4. Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.
  SST 09922-10010
  
  Torque:
  
  without SST
  
  69 N*m (700 kgf*cm, 51 ft.*lbf)
  
  with 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)
- Use 2 of the same SST.

INSPECT AND ADJUST BOTH NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLES

Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential
1. Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.
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.

  SST 09370-50010
  
  HINT.
  
  Measure the installation angle by placing SST in the positions shown in the illustration
3. Calculate the No 2 joint angle.
  No. 2 joint angle:
  
  A - B = -0° 19' to -1° 19'
  
  A: Intermediate shaft installation angle
  
  B: Propeller shaft installation angle
4. Calculate the No 3 joint angle
  No. 3 joint angle:
  
  B - C = 1° 07' to 2° 07'
  
  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
Adjust the No 2 joint angle.
1. Select the center support bearing washers for adjustment
