removal Transmission flange

1. Propeller shaft removal

1) Draw alignment marks on each flange yoke, flange,
and parking brake drum.
Caution：
・ Because the propeller shaft is adjusted to have
precise balance, always place alignment
marks on each of the joints before removing or
disassembling.

2) Remove the propeller shaft from vehicle.

Note：
・ Remove in order starting from the rear of the
vehicle and moving forward.
