5. Install the 3 bolts, 3 washers and 3 nuts.

   Torque: 79 N.m (806 kgf/cm, 58 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Be careful not to damage the flexible coupling centering bushings.

   HINT: 

   The bolts should be installed from the propeller intermediate shaft assembly side.

7. Install the 3 bolts, 3 washers and 3 nuts.

   Torque: 79 N.m (806 kgf/cm, 58 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   Be careful not to damage the flexible coupling centering bushings.

   HINT: 

   The bolts should be installed from the propeller shaft assembly side.

8. Temporarily install the 2 bolts and 2 adjusting washers.

   HINT: 

   Use the adjusting washers which were removed.

1. Adjust the distance (A) between the surface of the No. 1 center support bearing assembly and the surface of the cushion to 11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.) as shown in illustration.

   Distance (A)

   11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.)

2. Check that the center line of the bracket is at a right angle to the shaft axial direction.
3. Tighten the 2 bolts.

   Torque: 49.1 N.m (501 kgf/cm, 36 ft.lbf) 

4. Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut.

   *a	Hold
   *b	Turn
   *c	Length of SST 123.5 mm (4.86 in.)
   *d	Length of Torque Wrench 345 mm (1.13 ft.)
   *e	46 mm (1.81 in.)

   • SST: 09922-10010 

   without SST [Torque (N.m(kgf/cm, ft.lbf))] 

   Torque: 69 N.m (704 kgf/cm, 51 ft.lbf) 

   with SST [Reading of Torque wrench (N.m(kgf/cm, ft.lbf))] 

   Torque: 50.81 N.m (518 kgf/cm, 37 ft.lbf) 

   NOTE:

   • Make sure to turn SST in the direction shown in the illustration.
   • This torque value is effective when SST is parallel to the torque wrench.
   • The "with SST" torque value is effective when using SST with a fulcrum length of 123.5 mm (4.86 in.).
   • The "with SST" torque value is effective when using a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 345 mm (1.13 ft.).
   • If using a torque wrench with a different length, or connecting the torque wrench and SST at an angle, refer to the alternate torque values.

     Refer to PRECAUTION [09/2020 - ]

HINT: 

If any vibration or noise occurs, perform the joint angle check as follows and replace the adjusting washers with a proper one.

1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
   1. Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.
   2. Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
2. Check the No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.

   *a

   No. 2 Joint Angle

   *b

   No. 3 Joint Angle

   1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the propeller intermediate shaft assembly and propeller shaft assembly.
      • SST: 09370-50010 

      HINT: 

      SST should be set directly underneath 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

      Measurement Position	No. 2 Joint Angle
      A-B	-0°36' +/- 30'

   4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

      No. 3 Joint Angle

      Measurement Position	No. 3 Joint Angle
      B-C	1°46' +/- 32'

      If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with adjusting washers.

3. Adjust the No. 2 joint angle.
   1. Select adjusting washers for adjustment.

      Adjusting Washer

      Part No.	Thickness mm (in.)
      90201-10106	2.0 mm (0.0787 in.)
      90201-10008	4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
      90201-10033	6.5 mm (0.256 in.)
      90201-10017	9.0 mm (0.354 in.)
      90201-10034	11.0 mm (0.433 in.)

      NOTE:

      • Make sure to use a washer of the same thickness on both the right and left sides.
      • Do not use 2 or more adjusting washers on a bolt.
