Transfer Case Rear Output Shaft Flange

Transfer Case Rear Output Shaft Flange





Special Tool(s)

Removal
1. Remove the transfer case.





2. CAUTION: Rotational torque of the transfer case rear output shaft flange must be measured and recorded using an in-lb torque wrench for correct pinion bearing preload when reassembled.

Using the special tool to hold the flange, remove the pinion nut.





3. CAUTION: Mark the transfer case rear output shaft flange relative to the pinion spline.

Using the special tool, remove the transfer case rear output shaft flange.

Installation

1. CAUTION: Install the transfer case rear output shaft flange to engage the spline as previously marked.

Install the transfer case rear output shaft flange.





2. CAUTION: Do not over-tighten the pinion nut.

CAUTION: Refer to the rotational torque previously recorded with an in-lb torque wrench.

CAUTION: If the rotational torque is less than specification, tighten the drive pinion nut in small increments until it is within specification. Do not tighten the drive pinion nut more than 678 Nm (500 ft. lbs.) or the collapsible spacer will be damaged. If the rotation torque is higher than specification, the collapsible spacer has been compressed too far and a new collapsible spacer must be installed.

Using the special tool install the pinion nut.
3. Install the transfer case.
