  1. Select the 35 mm thrust shim if the transfer driven gear shaft or the tapered roller bearing on the transfer driven gear shaft is replaced. Calculate the thickness of the 35 mm thrust shim using the formula below. Select 35 mm thrust shim thickness of 1.08 mm (0.043 in.). NOTE: If the tapered roller bearing on the transfer driven gear shaft is replaced. Measure the thickness of the replacement bearing and the existing bearing, and calculate the difference of the bearing thickness. Adjust the thickness of the existing 35 mm thrust shim by the amount of difference in bearing thickness, and select the replacement 35 mm thrust shim. Do not use more than one 35 mm thrust shim to adjust the transfer gear backlash. Transfer Gear Backlash Inspection and Transfer Gear Tooth Contact Inspection
  2. Install the 35 mm thrust shim (A) on the transfer driven gear (B), then install the tapered roller bearing (C) using the special tools and a press.
  3. Install the bearing outer race, then install the tapered bearing (A) in the companion flange side of the transfer housing.
  4. Install the new oil seal (B) in the transfer housing using the special tools.
  5. Install the transfer driven gear (A) in the transfer housing (B). Do not install the transfer spacer on the transfer driven gear shaft in this step.
  6. Install the companion flange (A), the conical spring washer (B), and the locknut (C) on the transfer driven gear (D). Do not install the O-ring and the back-up ring on the transfer gear shaft in this step.
  7. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B) with soft jaws, then install the special tool on the companion flange. NOTE: To prevent damage to the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and the vise.
  8. Tighten the locknut while measuring the starting torque, so the starting torque is within 1.08-1.47 N.m (11.0-15.0 kgf.cm, 9.55-13.0 lbf.in.). NOTE: Coat the threads of the locknut and the shaft with MTF before installing the locknut. Do not stake the locknut in this step. Starting torque: 1.08-1.47 N.m (11.0-15.0 kgf.cm, 9.55-13.0 lbf.in.)
  9. Install the transfer shaft assembly (A) in the transfer holder (B), then install the transfer drive gear (C), the transfer collar (D), the 25 mm thrust shim (E), the tapered roller bearing (F), the conical spring washer (G), and the locknut (H) on the transfer shaft assembly. NOTE: Coat the threads of the locknut and the shaft with MTF before installing the locknut. Do not stake the locknut in this step.
  10. Hold the transfer shaft (A) with a 14 mm hex wrench (B) clamped in a bench vise, and tighten the locknut. NOTE: Do not stake the locknut in this step. Torque: 118 N.m (12.0 kgf.m, 86.8 Ft.Lbs)
  11. Apply Prussian Blue to both sides of the transfer drive gear teeth lightly and evenly.
  12. Install the dowel pin (A) and transfer holder assembly (B) in the transfer housing (C). NOTE: Temporarily install the transfer holder assembly without the O-ring.
  13. Rotate the companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearing.
  14. Set a dial indicator (A) on the companion flange (B), then measure the transfer gear backlash. Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.002-0.006 in.)
  15. Check the transfer gear tooth contact pattern.
  16. If the transfer gear tooth contact is incorrect, adjust the transfer gear tooth contact with a 35 mm or 25 mm thrust shim. If the gear tooth contact is correct, go to step 17. NOTE: To select a 35 mm thrust shim. Do not use more than one 35 mm shim to adjust the transfer gear tooth contact. To select the 25 mm thrust shim. Do not use more than one 25 mm shim to adjust the transfer gear tooth contact. Toe Contact Use a thicker 35 mm thrust shim to move the transfer driven gear shaft toward the transfer drive gear. Because this movement causes the transfer gear backlash to change, move the transfer drive gear away from the transfer driven gear shaft to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows: Increase the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim. Reduce the thickness of the 76 mm thrust shim by the amount you increased the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim. Flank Contact Use a thinner thrust shim to move the transfer drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft. Flank contact must be adjusted within the limits of the transfer gear backlash. If the backlash exceeds the limits, adjust as described under Heel Contact. Heel Contact Use a thinner 35 mm thrust shim to move the transfer driven gear shaft away from the transfer drive gear. Because this movement causes the transfer gear backlash to change, move the transfer drive gear toward the transfer driven gear shaft to adjust the transfer gear backlash as follows: Reduce the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim. Increase the thickness of the 76 mm thrust shim by the amount you reduced the thickness of the 25 mm thrust shim. Face Contact Use a thicker thrust shim to move the transfer drive gear away from the transfer driven gear shaft. Face contact must be adjusted within the limits of the transfer gear backlash. If the backlash exceeds the limits, adjust as described under Toe Contact.
  17. Remove the transfer holder assembly (A) from the transfer housing (B).

  25. Install the special tool on the companion flange, then tighten the transfer driven gear shaft locknut while measuring the starting torque of the transfer driven gear shaft. Starting torque: 1.08-1.47 N.m (11.0-15.0 kgf.cm, 9.55-13.0 lbf.in) Tightening torque: 132-260 N.m (13.5-26.5 kgf.m, 97.6-192 Ft.Lbs) NOTE: Rotate the companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearing, then measure the starting torque. If the starting torque exceeds 1.47 N.m (15.0 kgf.cm, 13.0 lbf.in.), replace the transfer spacer and reassemble the parts. Do not adjust the torque with the locknut loose. If the tightening torque exceeds 260 N.m (26.5 kgf.m, 192 Ft.Lbs), replace the transfer spacer and reassemble the parts.
