Transfer Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly: Reassembly

  1. Select appropriate shim as follows.
    1. Measure distance "a" between taper roller bearing outer races of reduction driven gear assembly (1).
    2. Measure depth "b" of left case (2) and "c" of right case (3).
    3. Obtain adjusting shim thickness by the following equation.

      Necessary shim thickness = Depth "b" + Depth "c" - Distance "a" + 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)

    4. Select a shim which is close to half thickness of the calculated value (necessary shim thickness) from among the available shims to install it between bearing and case at each of right and left sides.

      For example: 

      Measure distance "a" is 110.75 mm (4.360 in.).

      Measure depth "b" is 85.8 mm (3.378 in.).

      Measure depth "c" is 26.55 mm (1.045 in.).

      Necessary shim thickness = 85.8 mm (3.378 in.) + 26.55 mm (1.045 in.) - 110.75 mm (4.360 in.) + 0.1 mm (0.004 in.) = 1.7 mm (0.067 in.)

      1.7 mm (0.067 in.) ÷ 2 = 0.85 mm (0.033 in.)

      Calculated thickness of new shim = 0.85 mm (0.033 in.)

      Available reduction driven gear shim thickness 

      0.60, 0.65, 0.70, 0.75, 0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, 1.00 and 1.05 mm (0.024, 0.026, 0.028, 0.030, 0.031, 0.033, 0.035, 0.037, 0.039 and 0.041 in.) 

  2. Clean mating surface of right and left cases, and apply sealant to right case (1) as shown in figure by such amount that its section is 1.2 mm (0.047 in.) in diameter.

  3. Assemble the following parts in right and left cases by reversing disassembling procedure.
    • Reduction drive gear assembly (1)
    • Reduction driven gear assembly (3)
    • Bearing outer races (2)
    • Reduction driven gear shims (5)
    • Dowel pin (6)
  4. Tighten transfer case bolts (4) to specified torque.

  5. Select bevel pinion shim (3) referring to step  1) of "Reassembly" under TRANSFER OUTPUT RETAINER ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY .
  6. Inspect tooth contact according to BEVEL GEAR TOOTH CONTACT INSPECTION .
  7. Install transfer output retainer assembly (2) with bevel pinion shim (3) to transfer left case (4) by tightening retainer bolt (1) to specified torque.

    Tightening torque 

    Transfer output retainer bolt a: 55 N.m (5.5 kg-m, 40.0 lb-ft)

  8. Install bolt to bolt hole of flange (2), set dial gauge measuring tip at right angles to bolt (1) as shown in figure. Holding reduction driven gear by hand, take measurement backlash of pinion and bevel gear.
    NOTE: If backlash exceeds specification given below, adjust it by changing thickness ratio of shims assembled in right and left cases in Step  3).
