Re-torque propeller shaft bolt

Anyone have access to the TIS and can post this procedure for a 2022 4x4?

 

Attached PDF.

 

Thank you TakiEvo, interesting how you torque the nut on the front and the bolt on the rear. I would have torqued the nut on both sides. Could you post the procedure for the front prop shaft?

 

Hey everyone. I'm a new member here, but not necessarily new to mechanical work on vehicles.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned these issues with 2022 gen 3 tundras, but the periodical checking of the propeller (rear) shaft is due to improper heat treated bolts, from Toyotas supplier. Especially 4x4 tundras.

Second is the rear axle flange nuts being improperly tightened from the factory, which has been causing separation from the axle. Torque specs for those are 70 ft lbs x 4 per side.

 

So does the driveshaft need to be retorqued?

 

Doe anyone have the TIS for 2020 tundra for Re-torque propeller shaft bolt? This is my first 4x4 tundra. bought with 9k miles and have 20k on it now. I am about to grease and Re-torque propeller shaft bolt.

 

bumping this thread as I’m looking for the same info and process for a 2020

 

Thanks for posting this!

I'm trying to understand witch bolt and what spec they should be tighten. That procedure has a lot of bolt listed with different TQ spec. witch one need to be tighten according to Toyota maintenance schedule?

 

From the attached pdf it appears that you're talking about the driveshaft bolts that connect to the third member flange and the transfer case flange. It's a bolt, nut and washer that joins the two round flanges to each other. Get two open end wrenches the same size as the bolt and nut and tighten them down as best you can. I don't think there is a way to get a torque wrench on there unless your possibly using a claw foot which will mean you need to calculate the offset of the claw foot into the torque reading.

 

Toyota have this in there maintenance schedule. every 16k kilo.



so it would be the 4 bolt that connect the shaft to the tranny or the differential?

 

Propeller shaft? Next thing you know we'll be doing pre-flight inspections and checking the air pressure in the landing gear tires. ;-)

 

trying to understand what is the shaft lol look like i t could come out lose

 

I know what this is all about. We had the same maintenance issue on our 2nd Gen Tacomas. Also, just a good joke opportunity.

 

second gen tacoma was to grease it no?

this is to tight the bolt.

 

That, too. But there was also a stand-alone retorque item, IIRC. I think I did it once in the 15 years I owned mine. And it really didn't need it.

 

same I had never grease mine in 9 years.

but this new tundra look fragile. Just want a make sure i will not lose it down the trail.

 

Here is a thread from 2nd gen Tacoma forum. Almost the same as this one.

What does this "torque propeller bolt" mean? | Tacoma World

 

Thanks sound like what I had in mind. I'll give them a litele check, never know if they could be louse but I feel that if they are tight I don't see the point of checking them every 10k mill.

 

Yeah, I think I finally checked mine at about 10 years into the 15 years I owned my 2009 Tacoma. After I did, I asked myself why did I bother? LOL.
