Propeller Shaft Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
CAUTION:
  • If the nuts are loosened, verify that the stud bolt tightening torque against the coupling is 6.4 N.m {65 kgf.cm, 57 in.lbf} or more. If the tightening torque is less than 6.4 N.m {65 kgf.cm, 57 in.lbf}, tighten the stud bolt with 6.4-9.6 N.m {66-97 kgf.cm, 57-84 in.lbf}.

  • When loosening the nut, if a nut is stuck to a stud bolt, replace the stud bolt with a new one.
  • When replacing the stud bolts, clean off oil and foreign matter on the bolts and coupling installation areas in advance.
NOTE:
  • The stud bolts are entirely threaded with no front/rear distinction.
  1. Degrease the tightening area.
  2. Align the alignment marks, and temporarily install the nuts (front, rear, center bearing support).
