Transfer Case: Assembly
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Install the oil defense to transfer cover.
- Install gaskets onto filler plug and drain plug and install them into transfer case.CAUTION:
- Never reuse gasket.
- Install filler plug after oil is filled.
- Install the dowel pin to transfer case.CAUTION: Never reuse the dowel pin.
- Select drive pinion adjusting shim, and install it to transfer case. Refer to "ADJUSTMENT ".
- Install outer race of pinion bearing (front) to the transfer case with the drift (A) [SST: ST37830000 (-)].CAUTION:
- Never reuse pinion bearing.
- Apply gear oil to the pinion bearing.
- Install outer race of pinion bearing (rear) to transfer case with the drift (A) [SST: ST33230000 (J-25805-01)].CAUTION:
- Never reuse pinion bearing.
- Apply gear oil to the pinion bearing.
- Install drive pinion assembly to transfer case. Refer to "ASSEMBLY ".
- Install ring gear shaft assembly to transfer case. Refer to "ASSEMBLY ".
- Set the drifts (A and B) to right and left side spacers individually. Compress ring gear shaft assembly with ring gear bearing to install transfer cover to transfer case.
CAUTION:
- Never apply gasket fluid on the mounting surface.
- Clean the mounting surface of transfer case and transfer cover to degrease sufficiently.
- The drift shall be placed on the center of the spacers.
- The pressure shall be as low as to install ring gear shaft assembly into transfer case. The maximum pressure shall be 10 kN (1 ton, 1.0 Imp ton).
- If the adjusting shims and spacers are installed by tapping, the transfer cover may be damaged. Avoid tapping.
- Check backlash, tooth contact, and total preload. Refer to
"ADJUSTMENT ".CAUTION: Measure the total preload without the transfer case oil seals.
- Remove transfer cover. Refer to "DISASSEMBLY ".
- Apply liquid gasket (1) to mating surface of transfer cover.
- Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to "RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS ".
CAUTION:- Remove old gasket on mounting surfaces. Also remove any moisture, oil, or foreign material on mounting surfaces.
- The width of sealant bend is 2 - 3 mm (0.08 - 0.012 in).
- Overlap both ends of the bead for at least 3 mm (0.012 in).
- Immediately install transfer cover after installing applying gasket.
- Set the drifts (A and B) to right and left side spacers individually. Compress ring gear shaft assembly with ring gear bearing to install transfer cover to transfer case.
CAUTION:
- Immediately install after applying gasket.
- The drift shall be placed on the center of the spacers.
- The pressure shall be as low as to install ring gear shaft assembly into transfer case. The maximum pressure shall be 10 kN (1 ton, 1.0 Imp ton).
- If the adjusting shims and spacers are installed by tapping, the transfer cover may be damaged. Avoid tapping.
- Tighten transfer cover mounting bolts to the specified torque.
- Using the drifts (A and B), install transfer case oil seal (left) (1) within the dimension (L) shown as follows.
L: 1.0 - 1.6 mm (0.040 - 0.063 in)
CAUTION:- Never reuse oil seals.
- When installing, never incline oil seals.
- Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear oil onto the circumference of oil seal.
- Immediately install after installing transfer cover.
- After installing oil seal, immediately wipe out gasket squeezed out inward of transfer case.
- Using the drifts (A) [SST: ST35271000 (J-26091)], install transfer case oil seal (right) (1) within the dimension (L) shown as follows.
L: 0 - 0.6 mm (0 - 0.024 in)
CAUTION:- Never reuse oil seals.
- When installing, never incline oil seals.
- Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear oil onto the circumference of oil seal.
- Immediately install after installing transfer cover.
- After installing oil seal, immediately wipe out gasket squeezed out inward of transfer case.
