2003 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE flat tow

CLEANING
Clean the valve housings, valves, plugs, springs,
and separator plates with a standard parts cleaning
solution only. Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or any
type of caustic solution. (Fig. 131)
Do not immerse any of the electrical components in
cleaning solution. Clean the electrical components by
wiping them off with dry shop towels only.
Dry all except the electrical parts with compressed
air. Make sure all passages are clean and free from
obstructions.Do not use rags or shop towels to
dry or wipe off valve body components. Lint
from these materials can stick to valve body
parts, interfere with valve operation, and clog
filters and fluid passages.
INSPECTION
Inspect all of the valve body mating surfaces for
scratches, nicks, burrs, or distortion. Use a straight-edge to check surface flatness. Minor scratches may
be removed with crocus cloth using only very light
pressure.
Minor distortion of a valve body mating surface
may be corrected by smoothing the surface with a
sheet of crocus cloth. Position the crocus cloth on a
surface plate, sheet of plate glass or equally flat sur-
face. If distortion is severe or any surfaces are
heavily scored, the valve body will have to be
replaced.
Inspect the valves and plugs (Fig. 132) for
scratches, burrs, nicks, or scores. Minor surface
scratches on steel valves and plugs can be removed
with crocus cloth butdo not round off the edges
of the valve or plug lands.Maintaining sharpness
of these edges is vitally important. The edges prevent
foreign matter from lodging between the valves and
plugs and the bore.

(3) Remove front tabbed thrust washer (Fig. 29).
(4) Remove input gear (Fig. 30).
(5) Remove rear tabbed thrust washer from low
range gear (Fig. 31).
CLEANING
Clean the transfer case components with parts
cleaning solvent. Flush the oil passages in the cases
and drivetrain components with solvent. This will
help remove dirt and particles from these passages.
Dry the transfer case components with compressed
air or allow them to air dry on clean shop towels.
Apply compressed air through all oil passages in
the cases and gear components to clear them of any
residue.
INSPECTION
MAINSHAFT
Examine the mainshaft components carefully for
evidence of wear or damage.
Replace the thrust washers if worn or damaged.
Replace the mainshaft and sprocket gears if the
teeth or gear bores are worn or damaged.
Replace the mainshaft bearings if worn, flat spot-
ted, brinelled, or damaged in any way.
Replace the mainshaft if it is bent, exhibits wear or
damage to the bearing surfaces, splines or gear teeth.

INSTALLATION
NOTE: Sunroof glass must be set in place and
attached as close as possible to flush with the roof
surface. For wind noise reasons, care must be
