1. Removal
a. Jack up the vehicle and support it
with rigid racks.
b. Detach propeller shaft flange yoke
from companion flange of differen-
tial assembly.
c. Take out propeller shaft assembly
rearward.
NOTE:
a. Prepare an oil can and cap since the
mission oil flows out from exten-
sion at removing propeller shaft
assembly.
b. When removing propeller shaft
assembly, pay attention not to
damage the sliding surfaces of
rear drive shaft (extension) spline,
oil seal and sleeve yoke.
c. Insert the cap into the extension to
prevent mission oil from flowing
out immediately after removing the
propeller shaft assembly.

As a rule, do not disassemble the
propeller shaft assembly since it is
balanced. Inspect each part before
disassembling, and correct or replace if
any fault is evident.
I) Replace if the journal portion is
worn, damaged, or abnormal anyway.
2) Replace the snap ring if it is
damaged or its tension is insufficient.
