Once you have the old case torn down, clearanced, cleaned and inspected, it's time to install the new gear set.


Installing Main Drive Gear

The first step is to install the new main drive gear. Place it on the transmission or doubler output shaft.

Install a new front output shaft yoke seal and new shift rod seals in the front output housing.

Lay a thin (1/8") bead of RTV sealant around the edges of the case where the front output housing mounts. Place the front shift rod detent spring in the front output housing, then start the housing onto the front shift rod (ignore the fact that the rear shift rod is installed in this pic). Place front poppet ball on top of spring and depress into housing with a punch, tilt transfer case to slide interlock pill to right if required, and slide the front output housing into place over the front shift rod.
