Can someone point me to the Service Manual reference or other wise locate the "Drive Shaft Bolt" and torque?

Thanks

 

subscribing to this thread as I'm interested, too.

 

Where is the xB - "Drive shaft bolt" mentioned in the maintenance lists?

 

All the Toyota shop manuals can de downloaded for free here along with some other useful info http://scionlife.org/Scion_Docs/
here is a good microfiche for part #'S Toyota DIY pars reference

 

I don't know if this will help, but here goes.
There's a nut at the end of the drive shaft. It has a tab and is torqued to 158 ft. lbs.
You attach your wheel to four bolts called hub bolts press fit into the back of the hub. They are torqued in with the wheel nut to 76 ft. lbs.

There doesn't seem to be such a thing as a "drive shaft bolt." Only an "axle nut" or "hub nut" and the "hub bolts.

The parts are described in section 30 of the shop manual: Drive Shaft.

Here's a quote from Toyota Nation from 06 about the same maintenance item in the Corolla manual:

Regardless, I'll share whatever "Mother Toyota" reveals about this elusive (invisible?) bolt.

Mother Toyota was no help. Can't talk to a "mechanically educated person"... However, this time I got a male "service advisor" (at my selling dealer) who actually would listen (owned an 05 Corolla himself). He conferred with the technicians who ackowledge the bolt's existance but said they never found one loose and therefore never check it during routine maintenance. He offered to have mine checked (during the $24.95 20K service) and would even have their technician show it to me.. Granted I did mention that I was in contact with Corp. (Mother Toyota) and that Corp. was interested/concerned with the solution to my question/situation..."


Others suspect it is simply a Toyota/Scion major typo.

So I guess they just lifted the maintenance info from the Tundra manual?
