Transfer Gear Backlash Measurement
- Seta dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B); position the dial indicator tip (C) on the direct extension of the bolt hole center (D).
- Measure the transfer gear backlash.
Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.02-0.06 in.)
Total Starting Torque Measurement
- Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B) with soft jaws. To prevent damaging the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and the vise.
- Rotate the companion flange several turns to seat the tapered roller bearings.
- Measure the starting torque at the companion flange (C) with a torque wrench (D) and a socket (E).
Standard: 2.64-4.23 N.m
(26.9-43.1 kgf.cm, 23.3-37.4 lbf.in.)
- If any of the pressures are out of standard, disassemble the transfer assembly and repair it.
