attachment, leaks, chafing, abrasions, deterioration, etc.
Changing Brake FluidALS000FS
1. Drain brake fluid from each bleed valve.
2. Refill until new brake fluid comes out from each bleed valve.
Use same procedure as in bleeding hydraulic system to refill
brake fluid.
Refer to BR-10, "

9. Put matching marks on propeller shaft flange and companion
flange on the front drive as shown.
CAUTION:
For matching mark, use paint. Never damage the propeller
shaft flange and companion flange on the front drive.
10. Set the transmission jack at the transfer, remove the mounting
bolts and rear engine mounting bracket. On the VK45DE engine,
lower the transmission jack about 40 - 50 mm (0.16 - 0.20 in).
11. Remove the bolts and then remove the propeller shaft from the
front final drive and transfer.
INSPECTION
1. As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial
play of joint. If outside the standard, replace propeller shaft
assembly.
2. Check propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is
detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, install in the reverse order of removal.

Install the propeller shaft into the transfer.

Install the propeller shaft onto the front final drive flange while
matching marks that are marked during removal.

Tighten the drive flange bolts to specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always replace it with a
new one.

After installation, check the vibration by driving the vehicle. If the
vibration is present, remove the propeller shaft from the final
drive companion flange and turn the propeller shaft 90, 180 or
270 degrees and reinstall the propeller shaft to the companion
flange.
Recheck the vibration by driving the vehicle.

INSTALLATION
1. Paying attention to following items, install in the reverse order of removal.
a. Install the propeller shaft onto the rear final drive companion
flange while aligning the matching marks that are marked during
removal.
b. Adjust position of the bearing cushion so as not to apply thrust
play to the center bearing insulator.
c. Position the bearing cushion overlap as shown in the figure.
d. Install the center bearing bracket (upper) with its arrow mark fac-
ing forward.
e. Tighten the center bearing mounting bracket (upper) fixing nuts
to specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the nuts. Always replace the nuts with a new
ones.
2. If companion flange has been removed, put new alignment
matching mark C on it. Then, reassemble using the following
procedure.
Perform these steps when either of final drive and propeller
shaft is replaced with a new one.
a. Erase original mark C from companion flange with suitable sol-
vent.
b. Measure companion flange vertical runout.
c. Determine the position where maximum runout is read on dial
gauge. Put mark (shown by C in figure) on flange perimeter cor-
responding to maximum runout position.

them with new ones.

After installation, check the vibration by driving the vehicle. If the vibration is present, remove the pro-
peller shaft from the final drive companion flange.

Turn the propeller shaft 60, 120, 180, 240 or 300 degrees and reinstall the propeller shaft to the com-
panion flange, then measure the runout again by driving the vehicle on each angle position.
