Important: Do not separate the input shaft, propeller shaft, couplings, or bearing housing assembly, unless required. These components are balanced as an assembly. Disassembly and improper reassembly of the components may cause vehicle driveline vibration.
If the input shaft, couplings, propeller shaft, or bearing housing assembly must be separated, the components must be marked prior to disassembly. During assembly, the components must be returned to their original position and location.Important: Press only on the outer race of the bearing.
Important: Install the propeller shaft bushing into hub with the smaller opening of the bushing positioned away from the hub.
Important: Press only on the outer race of the bearing.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.
Tighten
Tighten the spindle nut to 90 N·m (66 lb ft).
Important: Install the propeller shaft bushing into hub with the smaller opening of the bushing positioned away from the flange.
Important: If the coupling orientation mark has been lost during the cleaning or disassembly process, the coupling MUST be installed with the directional arrow pointed toward the flange to which it mounts.
Tighten
Tighten the coupling bolts to 90 N·m (66 lb ft).

Tighten
Tighten the coupling bolts to 90 N·m (66 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the coupling bolts to 90 N·m (66 lb ft).
Install the bearing until completely seated against the flange of the input shaft.
A properly installed slinger washer will have a gap of 1.5-2.5 mm (0.050-0.098 in) between the washer and the bearing face.
Tighten
Tighten the coupling bolts to 90 N·m (66 lb ft).
During installation, lift the front of the input shaft to avoid damage to the slinger washer. Using a punch, tap evenly on the flat flange area of the rear bearing housing and install the assembly completely into the tube.
Important: The propeller shaft assembly must be checked for proper installation into the driveline tube - automatic transmission. When the propeller shaft assembly is installed into the driveline tube, the couplings may compress and not properly position the input shaft.
The actual distance must be equal to or within 2 mm (0.079 in) of the recorded dimension 3.
20.1. | If the actual distance is not within specifications, use a heat gun and heat the outside of the driveline support tube at the front bearing location. |
20.2. | Tap on the rear of the propeller shaft assembly or pull on the input shaft until the shaft has reached the proper position. |
Tighten
Tighten the flex plate bolts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).
Tighten
Tighten the clutch actuator bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).
