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

  A: The procedure to reassemble 4WD propeller shaft assembly starts with installing the front center support bearing assembly No. 1 toward the intermediate shaft followed by a new washer installation. Ensure the bearing is correctly oriented before moving forward. Place the front flange on the shaft while both components have matching marks in alignment. Special Service Tool: 09330-00021(s) will be used for holding the front flange during the center support bearing assembly No. 1 (front) installation process. The bearing should be positioned while tightening a new nut and plate washer up to 181 Nm (1,850 kgf-cm, 134 ft-lbf). It is important to stake the nut with a chisel and hammer after setting torque at 69 Nm (700 kgf-cm, 51 ft-lbf). Install the center support bearing assembly No. 1 (rear) onto the shaft by properly orienting the bearing and following the same procedure of matchmark alignment and flange placement using Special Service Tool: 09330-00021(s) and new nuts with plate washers to apply specifications torque. Apply the same procedure for nut tightening and staking. Set intermediate shaft matchmarks with rear propeller shaft assembly rear before adding 2 washers and 6 bolts which need to be loosely tightened with a 6 mm hexagon wrench. The propeller shaft assembly installation requires proper alignment of the matchmarks between the front and rear flanges after which you should apply 4 bolts with washers and nuts while torquing them at 74 Nm (750 kgf-cm, 54ft-lbf) until the propeller shaft faces the correct direction.
