Align the matchmarks on the propeller shaft and flange yoke or flange yoke and sleeve yoke.

Install the flange yoke to the sleeve yoke or propeller shaft.

  • HINT:
  • Install 2 new spider bearings and snap rings on the flange yoke side using the procedure described above.
2. APPLY MP GREASE
Propeller Shaft Assembly - Reassembly. DRIVE SHAFT / PROPELLER SHAFT. Land Cruiser URJ200  URJ202 GRJ200 VDJ200

Apply MP grease to the propeller shaft (the edge of the spline) as shown in the illustration.

  • Amount (Reference):
  • Spline AAmount
    Silver44 to 54 g (1.56 to 1.90 oz.)
    Black9 to 17 g (0.32 to 0.59 oz.)
  • HINT:
  • The amount of grease differs depending on the color of the spline portion of the sleeve yoke.

Align the matchmarks and install the sleeve yoke to the propeller shaft.

  • NOTICE:
Do not scratch the spline portion.
Make sure that there is no foreign matter.
3. INSPECT PROPELLER SHAFT GREASE FITTING DIRECTION
  • HINT:
  • When replacing a spider bearing, be sure that the grease fitting hole is facing the direction shown in the illustration.

4. INSPECT SPIDER BEARING
Propeller Shaft Assembly - Reassembly. DRIVE SHAFT / PROPELLER SHAFT. Land Cruiser URJ200  URJ202 GRJ200 VDJ200
  • NOTICE:
  • Be careful not to grip the propeller shaft tube too tightly in a vise as this will cause deformation.

Check the spider bearings for wear or damage.

Check the axial play of each spider bearing by turning the yoke while holding the shaft tightly.

  • Maximum bearing axial play:
  • 0 mm (0 in.)

If the axial play is more than the maximum, replace the spider bearing.
