   • SST: 09922-10010 

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

   HINT: 

   Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 34.5 cm (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 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: 

      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

      A - B = 0°28' to 1°22'

      A

      Intermediate shaft installation angle

      B

      Propeller shaft installation angle

   4. Calculate the No. 3 joint angle.

      No. 3 joint angle

      B - C = 1°29' to 2°23'

      B

      Propeller shaft installation angle

      C

      Differential installation angle

      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 an appropriate center support bearing washer thickness from the table below, and obtain a washer set.
