1Transfer Case Input Shaft Seal - Left CAUTION: Do not use a screwdriver or punch to remove or install the seal. Using a screwdriver or punch to remove or install the seal may damage the aluminum housing sealing surface. Procedure Lightly lubricate the outer diameter (OD) of the seal with clean gear lube prior to installation. To ensure proper alignment and depth of the seal, take four measurements every 90 degrees around the seal circumference, verifying uniform depth. The distance from the top face of the machined surface of the bore to the metal flange of the seal should be 17.7 +/- 0.1 mm (0.697 +/- 0.004 in). Failure to follow these instructions will result in replacement seal failure. TIP: Alignment of seal is critical and use of correct tool is necessary. The machined surface of the bore must be clean and free from scratches or nicks.
