(1) With the part marked with *, first temporarily
tighten it, then ground the vehicle and tighten
it to specification in unloaded condition.
(2) When removing the drive shaft from, and
reinstalling it to, a vehicle with AYC, use care
not to damage the rotor mounted on the BJ outer
race.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
ADRIVE SHAFT NUT REMOVAL
Caution
Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel bearing
with the drive shaft nut loosened.
BDRIVE SHAFT REMOVAL
(1) Using the special tool, drive the drive shaft out of the
hub.
(2) Apply a lever to the protrusion of the drive shaft and
remove the drive shaft from the differential carrier.
Caution
(1) Be sure to remove the drive shaft from the
differential side using a lever. Removing it from
the BJ side could damage the parts.
(2) Do not apply the vehicle weight to the wheel
bearing with the drive shaft removed. If it is
unavoidable to apply the weight for reasons of
moving the vehicle, use the special tool to
temporarily secure it in position.
(3) To prevent entry of foreign matter into the
differential carrier, use the special tool as a cover.

ADRIVE SHAFT INSTALLATION
Caution
Use care not to allow the drive shaft splines to damage
the oil seal of the differential carrier.
BDRIVE SHAFT NUT INSTALLATION
(1) Install the washer on the drive shaft in the direction shown
on the left.
(2) Using the special tool, tighten the drive shaft nut to the
specified torque.
Caution
Before torquing the drive shaft nut to specification,
do not apply vehicle weight to the wheel bearing.
(3) If, at this time, the split pin holes are not aligned, tighten
the nut further (within 255 Nm {26.0 kgf
m}), insert the
split pin in the first matching holes, and bend it securely.

AREAR CROSSMEMBER AND DIFFERENTIAL
CARRIER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL
(1) Using a jack, support the differential carrier from its
underside.
(2) Remove the rear crossmember mounting bolts and
remove the differential carrier, where it is attached to
the rear crossmember, from the vehicle.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
AREAR CROSSMEMBER AND DIFFERENTIAL
CARRIER ASSEMBLY
Tighten the rear crossmember mounting bolts in the numerical
order shown.
NOTE
To ensure both good installation accuracy and ease of
installation, the rear crossmember mounting holes have
different diameters between front and rear. This is the reason
for specifying the tightening sequence of the mounting bolts.
BPROPELLER SHAFT CONNECTION
Align the alignment mark on the differential carrier with that
of the propeller shaft at installation.
Caution
Oil or grease on the threads of the mounting bolt or nut
can allow the bolt or nut to come loose. Be sure to
degrease the threads before installation.
