13. To remove the equipment driveshaft perform the following:
    1. Paint matchmarks on the rear flexible coupling, flange and crankshaft pulley. Do not place marks using punch etc.
    2. Install a service bolt and nut to the front end of the equipment driveshaft.
    3. Disconnect the equipment driveshaft from the ground strap.
    4. Rotate the equipment driveshaft by turning the service nut to a position where the bolts are easy to remove, then remove the 3 bolts (A) and 3 washers.

       NOTE: Do not remove the other 3 bolts (B).

    5. Remove the 3 bolts holding the equipment driveshaft and equipment drive housing.
    6. Remove the 4 bolts and 4 plate washers holding the right and left hand equipment drive housing insulators to the body bracket.
    7. Lift up the equipment drive housing.
    8. Rotate the equipment driveshaft approximately 60°clockwise and remove it from the rear end of the equipment drive housing.
    9. Lower the equipment drive housing and set it in the body bracket.

       NOTE: Refer to the cautions earlier in this section.

14. Inspect the driveshaft.
    1. Rotate the flange of the equipment driveshaft bearing and check that the equipment driveshaft bearing rotates smoothly and without any strange noise.
    2. Check the driveshaft runout, maximum should be 0.031 inch (0.8mm).
    3. Visually check that the coupling has no damage, leaks or silicone oil leakage.

       To install:

15. Lift up the equipment drive housing. Insert the driveshaft through the hole at the rear of the equipment drive housing and set it to the crankshaft pulley and equipment drive housing.

    Fig. 14: Align the matchmarks and install the 3 washers with bolts to the shaft coupling

    Fig. 15: Rotate the shaft using the service nut enough to tighten each one of the bolts

    1. Align the matchmarks of the coupling and crankshaft pulley which were placed at removal. Lower the driveshaft housing. Temporarily install the 3 washers and bolts.
    2. Install and tighten the 3 bolts holding the driveshaft to the housing to 38 ft. lbs. (51 Nm).
    3. Rotate the driveshaft to the position where it is easy to tighten the 3 washers and 3 bolts on the rear side. Tighten the 3 bolts to 25 ft. lbs. (33 Nm).
    4. Remove the service bolt and nut installed on the front end of the driveshaft.
    5. Install the 4 plate washers and 4 bolts holding the right and left side No. 1 equipment drive housing insulators to the body bracket to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm).
    6. Connect the ground strap to the housing and tighten to 24 ft. lbs. (33 Nm).
16. Install the plate washer and nut holding the body bracket to the insulator. Tighten to 18 ft. lbs. (25 Nm).

    NOTE: The stopper must be secured against the body bracket. The equipment driveshaft must not be twisted.

17. Check the alignment and gap of the insulators as follows:

    Fig. 16: Place the insulator and stay on the body bracket . . .

    Fig. 17: . . . and tighten the nuts in several passes in the order shown

    Fig. 18: Attach the No. 3 housing stay to the No. 1 housing stay and tighten ins several passes in the order shown

    Fig. 19: Align the insulators at the front correctly

    Fig. 20: Adjust the No. 1 housing insulator gaps to specification

    Fig. 21: No. 1 housing insulator specification chart

    1. Check the insulators are correctly aligned at the front. If they are not correctly aligned, adjust the position ofd the insulators.
    2. Check that gaps A, B, C and D shown of the No. 1 equipment drive housing insulator are as specified.
       • A — 0.020–0.177 inch (0.5–4.5mm)
       • B — 0.0244–0.402 inch (6.2–10.2mm)
       • C — 0.008–0.165 inch (0.2–4.2mm)
       • D — 0.295–0.413 inch (7.5–10.5mm)
    3. If the gaps are not as specified, adjust the position of the insulator.
18. Check the installation angle of the driveshaft. Refer to the precautions earlier in this section.
19. Install the equipment drive pulley and tighten the bolts to 21 ft. lbs. (39 Nm).
20. On the 4WD models, install the front differential and front propeller shaft.
21. Install and adjust the A/C, supercharger, alternator/power steering pump belts.
22. Install the fluid coupling with cooling fan and tighten the nuts to 10 ft. lbs. (13.5 Nm).
23. Install the No. 2 fan shroud.
24. Install the air duct.
25. Check the installation of the negative battery cable.
26. Install the No. 1 engine under cover.
27. Start the engine and check for abnormal noises or vibrations.
