    CAUTION:
    • Never reuse oil seal.
    • When installing, never incline oil seal.
    • Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear oil onto the circumference.
  7. Assemble a collapsible spacer onto the drive pinion.
    CAUTION: Never reuse the collapsible spacer.
  8. Assemble drive pinion assembly into the transfer case, and then install companion flange to drive pinion.
    NOTE: Align matching marks (A) on the thread edge of drive pinion and companion flange, and install companion flange if drive pinion is reused.

    CAUTION:
    • Start the tightening of pinion lock nut from lower limit of the specified torque. Check the preload every 5° to 10° while tightening the pinion lock nut.
    • Replace the collapsible spacer and tighten it again to adjust if preload exceeds the specified value. Never loosen pinion lock nut to adjust preload.
    • After adjustment, rotate the drive pinion back and forth from 2 to 3 times to check for unusual noise, sticking, binding, and so on.
  12. Install ring gear shaft assembly. Refer to "ASSEMBLY ".
  13. Install transfer cover to check and adjust each part. Refer to "ASSEMBLY ".
    CAUTION: Never apply liquid gasket.
  14. Check backlash, tooth contact, total preload and companion flange runout. Refer to "ADJUSTMENT ".
    CAUTION: Measure the total preload without the transfer case oil seal.
  15. Reinstall transfer cover for applying liquid gasket. Refer to "ASSEMBLY ".
  16. Install the transfer case oil seal (left and right). Refer to "ASSEMBLY ".
