Installation [04/2013 - 08/2015]: Procedure

1. Completely remove any oil and clean the contact surfaces of the rear drive pinion companion flange and propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.
2. Remove SST from the transmission.
3. Insert the yoke of the propeller with center bearing shaft assembly into the transmission.
   NOTE:

   • Be careful not to damage the automatic transmission extension housing oil seal (for 2WD).
   • Be careful not to damage the transfer case oil seal (for AWD).
4. Align the matchmarks on the rear drive pinion companion flange and propeller with center bearing shaft assembly.

5. Install the 4 bolts, 4 washers and 4 nuts.

   Torque: 73.5 N.m (749 kgf/cm, 54 ft.lbf) 

   HINT: 

   Install the washers on the same side as the bolts.

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

   HINT: 

   Use the adjusting washers which were removed.

7. Adjust the distance (A) between the surface of the center support bearing and the surface of the cushion to 11.5 to 13.5 mm (0.453 to 0.531 in.) as shown in illustration.

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

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

HINT: 

If any vibration or noise occurs, perform the joint angle check as follows and replace the adjusting washer 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.

   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	Model	No. 2 Joint Angle
      A-B	2WD	-0°54' +/- 30'
      	AWD	-0°32' +/- 30'

   4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

      No. 3 Joint Angle

      Measurement Position	Model	No. 3 Joint Angle
      B-C	2WD	2°02' +/- 32'
      	AWD	2°05' +/- 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 adjusting washers of the same thickness on both the right and left sides.
      • Do not use 2 or more washers on a bolt.

1. Install the No. 1 fuel tank protector with the 4 nuts and tighten the nuts in the order shown in the illustration.

   Torque: 5.0 N.m (51 kgf/cm, 44 in.lbf) 

1. Install the front No. 1 floor heat insulator with the 4 nuts.

   Torque: 5.4 N.m (55 kgf/cm, 48 in.lbf)
