(1) Install hub and snap ring in ring gear (Fig. 11)
(2) Identify ring gear thrust bearing and races by
following dimensions (Fig. 10):
²Outer diameter of bottom race is 44.8 mm (1.764
in.) and inner diameter is 27.6 mm (1.087 in.).
²Outer diameter of bearing is 44.7 mm (1.760 in.)
and inner diameter is 30.1 mm (1.185 in.).
²Outer diameter of upper race is 44.8 mm (1.764
in.) and inner diameter is 28.8 mm (1.134 in.).

TRANSFER CASE DISASSEMBLY AND OVERHAUL
Two versions of the NP231 are used in current
models. One version retains the synchronizer
components used in previous years. A newly intro-
duced version does not have synchro components.
The non-synchro version is not equipped with a
synchro gear, struts, springs, or stop ring. During
overhaul, note which version is being serviced
and order needed parts accordingly.
(1) Remove fill and drain plugs. Also remove speed-
ometer adapter and pinion if not previously removed.
(2) Remove front yoke. Discard yoke seal washer
and nut. They should not be reused.
(3) Move transfer case range lever rearward to 4L
position.
(4) Remove extension housing attaching bolts.
(5) Tap extension housing in clockwise direction to
break sealer bead and remove housing (Fig. 1).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the sealing surfaces
of the extension housing and rear retainer, do not
pry or wedge the housing off the retainer.
(6) Remove rear bearing snap ring (Fig. 2).
(7) Remove rear retainer attaching bolts.
(8) Remove rear retainer. Position screwdriver un-
der each tab on retainer housing (Fig. 3). Then care-
fully pry retainer upward and off rear case.
CAUTION: Do not pry against the sealing surfaces
of the retainer or rear case. The surfaces could be
damaged.
(9) Remove bolts attaching rear case to front case.
Retain bolts and washers.
(10) Separate rear case from front case (Fig. 4) Insert
screwdrivers into slots cast in case ends. Then gently
pry upward to break sealer bead and loosen rear case.
CAUTION: Do not pry against the sealing surfaces of
the retainer or rear case. The surfaces could be dam-
aged.

(8) Remove input gear bearing from front case
with Tool Handle C-4171 and Tool C-4210, 7828, or
5062. Use tool that is best fit in bearing (Fig. 34).
(9) Turn front case over.
(10) Start bearing in case by hand. Then seat bear-
ing with Tools C-4171 and C-4210, or 7828 until snap
ring seats against case surface (Fig. 35).
INPUT AND LOW RANGE GEAR ASSEMBLY
AND INSTALLATION
(1) Remove mainshaft pilot bearing from input
gear with Tool MD-998346, or similar tool as follows:
(a) Turn puller tool bolt until jaws retract
enough to fit into bearing (Fig. 36).
(b) Insert puller bolt and jaws into bearing. Then
turn puller bolt clockwise so ramp on bolt spreads
jaws forcing them under bearing (Fig. 37).

(c) Install puller bridge over puller bolt (Fig. 38).
Then install flat washer and nut on bolt.
(d) Hold puller bridge from turning by hand or
with locking pliers. Then tighten nut on puller bolt
in clockwise direction to draw bearing out of input
gear (Fig. 39).
(2) Install new needle bearing in input gear with
Tool Handle C-4171 and Installer 5065 (Fig. 40).
(3) Lubricate and install thrust washers, input
gear and retainer in low range gear (Fig. 41). Then
install retainer snap ring.Be sure snap ring is
fully seated before proceeding.
(4) Align and install input/low range gear assembly in
case. Use hammer handle to tap low range gear into an-
nulus and input gear into bearing if necessary.
(5) Install input gear snap ring (Fig. 42).
(6) Install new oil seal in input bearing retainer
with suitable size installer tool (Fig. 43).
(7) Apply 3 mm (1/8 in.) wide bead of Mopar Gas-
