• Q: How to disassemble the Drive Shaft assembly on 2008 Toyota Sienna?

  A: A technician should start 4WD propeller shaft assembly disassembly by marking both flanges before removing the 4 nuts and bolts with their washers to extract the assembly. First, note down the marked positions on the propeller shaft sub-assembly and universal joint flange without a punch while using a 6 mm hexagon wrench to remove the six propeller shaft bolts with two washers to split the intermediate shaft from the propeller shaft assembly. Service Tool 09330-00021(s) allows proper maintenance of center support bearing assembly No. 1 (rear) by holding the front flange through removal of the nut and plate washer. The maintenance sequence requires marking of rear flange and shaft while using Special Service Tool: 09950-40011 09951-04020(s) to extract the rear flange without harming universal joint flange and then proceeding to remove center support bearing assembly No. 1 (rear) and washer. For the front, repeat the process by loosening the staked part of the nut with a chisel and hammer, using Special Service Tool: 09330-00021(s) to hold the front flange, removing the nut and plate washer, marking the front flange and shaft, securing the intermediate shaft in a vise, and using Special Service Tool: 09950-40011 09951-04020(s) to remove the front flange while being cautious not to damage the universal joint flange, followed by the removal of center support bearing assembly No. 1 (front) and washer.
