COMPONENT DISASSEMBLY & REASSEMBLY
OUTPUT SHAFT ASSEMBLY (MONTERO)
Disassembly & Reassembly (Rear Shaft)
Remove snap ring and press ball bearing off without putting
pressure on vicious coupling. Remove viscous coupling. To install,
reverse removal procedure. When installing new snap ring, select
thickest ring that will fit into groove. Acceptable clearance is 0-.
003" (0-.08 mm).
Disassembly & Reassembly (Front Shaft)
Remove front bearing. Remove rear bearing. To install reverse
removal procedure.
Disassembly & Reassembly
Remove snap ring, high-low synchronizer hub and low speed
gear. Remove bearing spacer, needle bearing and ball bearing. To
assemble, reverse disassembly procedure. Use thickest snap ring that
will fit into output shaft groove. Acceptable clearance is 0-.003" (0-
.08 mm). See Fig. 4.
INPUT SHAFT ASSEMBLY (RAM-50)
Disassembly & Reassembly
1) Remove snap ring from input shaft. Support bearing in
press. Press input shaft out to remove bearing.
2) On manual transmission models, remove spacer and snap ring
from below bearing. Remove cone spring and sub gear. See Fig. 6. For
reassembly, reverse disassembly procedures.
3) Press bearing into input shaft, pushing against inner
race. After fitting, ensure bearing rotates smoothly. Fit snap ring
over front end of input shaft. Snap rings are available in selective
thicknesses. Select thickest snap ring that will fit in groove.

CENTER DIFFERENTIAL CASE (MONTERO)
Disassembly & Reassembly
Separate center differential case front from rear case.
Remove pinion shaft, pinions, thrust washers and dowel pins. Inspect
for excessive wear and replace parts as needed. Align dowel pins and
match marks on outer case circumferences. Assemble front and rear
center differential cases. See the TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table. Also,
see Fig. 7 .

Reassembly (Montero)
1) Install input gear and front output shaft oil seals into
transfer case housing. Install transfer input gear assembly baffle
plate and input gear seal. Pack grease between lips of seals and press
seal circumference uniformly.
2) Install 2WD-4WD shift lug into transfer case. Install
spring retainer and spring to shift rail and install into shift lug.
Press on shift rail to align spring pin holes in shift rail and shift
lug. While holding shift rail, tap spring pin into place with slit
facing center of shift rail.
3) Install transfer input gear assembly and snap ring. Select
thickest snap ring that will fit into groove. Allowed snap ring
clearance is 0-.0024" (0-.060 mm). Insert needle bearing onto transfer\
drive shaft assembly. Install high-low synchronizer sleeve and shift
fork assembly. Install transfer drive shaft assembly.
4) Install transfer countergear shaft thrust washers, needle
bearings, bearing spacer and transfer countergear. Install one thrust
washer at each end of transfer countergear. Ensure tab on thrust
washers fits into groove of transfer case. Install counter gear shaft
from transmission case side so lock plate groove is aligned with lock
plate. Install lock plate. Install side cover and gasket.
5) Install bearing retainer. If reusing bearing retainer
bolts, apply Locking Adhesive (3M 4170 Stud Lock) to threads. Install
oil dam cover. Install differential lock hub, snap ring, steel ball
and sleeve. Select thickest snap ring that will fit into groove.
Allowed snap ring clearance is 0-.003" (0-.08 mm). Install 2WD-4WD
synchronizer sleeve, 2WD-4WD shift fork, spring, spring seat and 2WD-
4WD shift rail snap ring.
6) Assemble front output shaft assembly, chain and 2WD-4WD
synchronizer assembly. Align match marks made during disassembly. Link
chain tightly onto 2WD-4WD synchronizer and front output shaft
sprockets. Install both sprockets and chain to transfer case at same
time, while keeping them as far apart as possible.
7) Install center differential case assembly, rear output
shaft assembly needle bearings and rear output shaft assembly. Install
interlock plunger so it does not interfere with 2WD-4WD shift rail.
Evenly apply sealant to chain cover and install chain cover.
8) Install high-low shift rail through high-low shift rail
hole into shift fork. Align spring pin holes in high-low shift rail
and shift fork. Tap in spring pin so slit is facing shift rail shaft
center. Install and tighten high-low shift rail plug to specification.
See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
9) Before installing front output shaft cover, measure
protrusion "A" of front output shaft rear bearing and recess "B" of
cover and calculate clearance. See Fig. 11. If clearance is greater
than .079" (2.00 mm), select and install spacer to bring clearance
within specification. If clearance is less than .079" (2.00 mm), use
wave spring alone. Apply sealant to both sides of gasket and install
gasket and cover. Apply Locking Adhesive (3M 4170 Stud Lock) to bolts
and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
