Re-torque Propeller Shaft Bolts

[michael90630]

For 4th Gen 4WD 4Runners, has anyone re-torqued propeller shaft bolt as recommended in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide? Are these the same one which requires the lubrication?

What are the torque numbers for these bolts?

Thanks.

This is for the front shaft but they are all the same.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did not re-torque them - they seemed to all tight. I went for a 1500 mile round trip to Southern Oregon from Southern California and so wanted to take care of some basic maintenance:
=> Replaced all 5 stock Michelin tires (265/70R16) with Yokohama Geolander A/T-S LT265/70R-17. Gained between 1" to 1.25" of height from the taller tires.
=> Changed spark plugs to NGK Platinum plugs (Laser Platinum PLFR6A-11).
=> Cleaned the throttle-body
=> Changed engine oil (Mobil 1 Synthetic) and oil filter
=> Replaced air-filter
=> Lubed driveshafts

The truck runs nice and smooth. The only thing I noticed is that the idle engine RPM is a bit higher. Before it was at 600 RPM and now it seems to be at 700 RPM.

Very Nice! The idle will come back down as the ECM learns the new plugs etc.

Lots ask about those Yok's, when you get a few miles do a write-up, please.

Resurrecting this thread with a question: got a 14mm socket onto these bolts but the driveshaft rotates when you try to tighten them. For anyone who's done this, how did you block it from turning?

Put a 6 point wrench on the bolt head:

Or put it in 4wd so the front shaft is locked.

Thanks. A lift obviously makes this job much easier. I’ll jack mine up and see if I can get enough space. Locking it with 4WD will be Plan B as being able to rotate the shaft makes it much easier to get a wrench on each bolt.
