FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT GREASE CHECK <4WD>



caution If the front propeller shaft is immersed in water such as during wading, top up the grease immediately.

1.Remove the nuts and bolts securing the front propeller shaft to the front differential.

2.Compress the propeller shaft in axial direction.
note If you top up the grease without compressing the propeller shaft, excessive grease will ooze out during driving. This may cause misdiagnosis of grease leakage.

3.Fill the grease at the nipple when the front propeller shaft is compressed.
Specified grease: Multi purpose grease SAE J310, NLG1 NO.2 or equivalent
Specified value: As required

4.Check whether the old grease oozes out from the seal or the centre of the yoke at the rear side.
5.Wipe off the excessive grease.

6.Extend the front propeller shaft to its original length, and then tighten the front differential mounting nuts and bolts.
Tightening torque: 54 ± 5 N·m
