Coupling Maintenance Precautions
Maintain the coupling at a horizontal level.
Refer to the handling caution level (A) when servicing the coupling (removal, installation, replacement, etc.).
Remove the 4WD coupling assembly bolts (A-3ea) mounted to the rear propeller shaft (B).
Tightening torque :
49.0~68.6N.m (5.0~7.0kgf.m, 36.2~50.6lb-ft)
Using a flat tool, separate the propellar shaft from 4WD coupling assembly.
Disconnect the pressure sensor connector (A) and Oil hydraulic Motor connector (B).
Loosen the coupling assembly mounting bolts (A-4ea).
Tightening torque :
58.8~63.7N.m (6.0~6.5kgf.m, 43.4~47.0lb-ft)
Using a flat tool, separate the 4WD coupling assembly from the rear differential carrier assembly.
