CV Joint And Boots
| 1. |
Shift the transaxle to
Neutral. |
| 2. |
Raise the vehicle off the ground, and support
it with safety stands in the proper
locations. |
| 3. |
Check the center bearing (A) for excessives
play or rattle and rubber for rent. If the center bearing (A) has
excessive play or rattle and rubber has rent, replace the propeller
shaft assembly.
|
| 4. |
Check the CV joint boot (B) for damage and
deterioration. If the boot is damaged or deteriored, replace the
propeller shaft assembly. |
| 5. |
Check the CV joint (C) for excessive play or
rattle. If the CV joint have excessive play or rattle, replace the
propeller shaft assembly. |
Propeller Shaft Runout
| 1. |
Install a dial indicator with its needle on
the center of front propeller shaft or rear propeller
shaft. |
| 2. |
Turn the propeller shaft slowly and check the
runout. Repeat this procedure for the other propeller
shaft.
Front
Propeller Shaft Runout : 0.3mm
(0.012in.)
|
Rear Propeller
Shaft Runout : 0.3mm
(0.012in.)
|
|
| 3. |
If the runout on either propeller shaft
exceeds the service limit, replace the propeller shaft
assembly. |
| 1. |
After making a match mark (C) on the rubber
coupling (A) and rear differential companion (B), remove the
propeller shaft mounting bolts (D).
Tightening
torque Nm (kgf-m, lb-ft) :
49.0~68.6 (5~7,
36.2~50.6)
|
|
| 2. |
Remove the center bearing bracket (A) mounting
bolts (B).
Tightening
torque Nm (kgf-m, lb-ft) :
39.2~49.0 (4~5,
28.9~36.2)
|
|
| 3. |
After making a match mark (C) on the flange
yoke (A) and transaxle companion (B), remove the propeller shaft
mounting bolts (D).
Tightening
torque Nm (kgf-m, lb-ft) :
49.0~68.6 (5~7,
36.2~50.6)
|
|
Use the hexagonal wrench to prevent
damage of bolt head when removing bolts
(D). | |
| 4. |
Installation is the reverse of the removal
procedures |
Center bearing disassembly
| 1. |
After marking the alignment point on front or
rear, loosen 6EA bolts on the C.V. Joint(A).
| -
|
The alignment point assembles in
the direction to marked
reassemble. |
| -
|
It is to minimize the change of
balance. | | |
| 2. |
After fixing the pipe on the circle vise,
loosen the nut by using impact(A) (26mm).
| -
|
When you fix the pipe, you should
use the circle vise or
cleat. |
| -
|
It is to prevent the crush of
pipe.
| | |
| 3. |
Disassemble the key pliers as shown in the
illustration.
Disassemble the flange(A) by using a
tool.
|
| 4. |
After disassembling by using the key pliers,
disassemble the flange(A).
| -
|
Before disassembling flange, mark
the alignment point. |
| -
|
It is to assemble with alignment,
when you reassemble
flange. | | |
| 5. |
If center bearing do not fall, lightly hit the
center bearing as shown in the illustration. Then, center bearing(A)
is disassembly.
| -
|
When you hit strongly, appear the
abrasion in the shape of the screw
thread. | | |
| 6. |
Installation is the reverse order of
removal. |
Universal joint disassembly
| 1. |
After marking alignment point on flange yoke
and tube yoke, disassemble snap ring(B) on tube yoke.
| -
|
The alignment point assembles in
the direction on marked
reassemble. |
| -
|
It is to minimize the change of
balance. | | |
| 2. |
Disassemble the case(A) by using hammer as
shown in the illustration.
|
Do not hit too strongly with
hammer. | |
| 3. |
Disassemble snap ring(A) on the
yoke.
|
| 4. |
Disassemble the case(A) by using hammer as
shown in the illustration.
| -
|
Do not hit too strongly with
hammer. | | |
| 5. |
Installation is the reverse order of
removal. |
