2. Using the drifts, install the selected gear ring bearing adjusting
shim (transfer case side) and gear ring bearing outer race
(transfer case side).
3. Install the oil defense, and tighten the mounting bolts to the
specified torque. Refer to TF-59, "
COMPONENTS" . The clear-
ance between the oil defense and transfer case (dimension A)
should be the following.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the mounting bolts.
4. Using the drift, drive the transfer case oil seal until it becomes
flush with the case end.
CAUTION:

When checking the total preload torque, measure it with-
out the oil seal, then install the oil seal.

Do not reuse the oil seal.

Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear
oil onto the circumference of the oil seal.
5. Apply recommended sealant to filler plug and plug before install-
ing them to the transfer case. Refer to TF-59, "
COMPONENTS"
.
6. Apply recommended sealant to breather tube and install it to the transfer case.
7. Install the drive gear assembly. Refer to TF-71, "
Drive Gear Assembly" .
8. Install the adapter case. Refer to TF-72, "
Adapter Case" .
9. Install the pinion sleeve assembly. Refer to TF-74, "
Pinion Sleeve Assembly" .
10. Check backlash, preload torque, tooth contact, and companion flange runout. Refer to TF-60, "
ASSEM-
BLY INSPECTION" .
CAUTION:
Measure the total preload torque without the oil seal.
Drive Gear Assembly
1. Using the drift, drive the gear ring oil seal into the gear ring.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse the oil seal.

Apply multi-purpose grease onto oil seal lips, and gear
oil onto the circumference of the oil seal.

The oil seal back position after the installation shall be
56.5 mm (2.22 in) from the gear ring end.Tool number : ST30720000

2. Apply recommended thread locking sealant into the thread hole
for the drive gear.
a. Completely clean and degrease the drive gear back face, thread
holes, and drive gear mounting bolts.
b. Apply recommended thread locking sealant onto the first and
second threads under the thread hole chamfering of the drive
gear on 3 or more different points.
3. Install the drive gear to gear ring, and apply anti-corrosive oil
onto threads and seats on the mounting bolts, and then tighten
to the specified torque. Refer to TF-59, "
COMPONENTS" .
CAUTION:

Temporary installation before tightening the bolts through to the completion of the tightening
should be within 90 seconds.

If the thread locking sealant is applied aside, quickly wipe it off.
4. Apply gear oil to gear ring bearing inner race (transfer case
side). Using the drifts, install gear ring bearing inner race.
5. Apply gear oil to gear ring bearing inner race (adapter case
side). Using the drifts, install gear ring bearing inner race.
6. Install the drive gear assembly to the transfer case.
7. Install the adapter case.
8. Check backlash, preload torque, tooth contact, and companion
flange runout. Refer to TF-60, "
ASSEMBLY INSPECTION" .
CAUTION:
Measure the total preload torque without the oil seal.
Adapter Case
1. Select the gear ring bearing adjusting shim (adapter case side). Refer to TF-69, "SELECTING ADJUST-
ING SHIMS" .
2. Install the oil gutter.
3. Using the drifts, install the selected gear ring bearing adjusting
shim (adapter case side) and gear ring bearing outer race

9. Using the drift and press in the companion flange.
10. Apply anti-corrosion oil onto threads and seat of the pinion lock
nut and adjust the pinion lock nut tightening torque and pinion
bearing preload torque (P’
1 ), using a preload gauge.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse the pinion lock nut.

Adjust the lower limit of the pinion lock nut tightening torque first.

While confirming the preload torque, tighten pinion lock nut by 5° to 10°. Because preload will
increase suddenly.

If specified preload torque is exceeded, replace the collapsible spacer and tighten again. Never
loosen the pinion lock nut for further preload torque adjustment.

After the adjustment, rotate the companion flange back and forth 2 to 3 times to check for
unusual noise, rotation malfunction, and other malfunctions.

PRECAUTIONS

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Service Notice or PrecautionsEDS001YY

Check for the correct installation status prior to removal or disassembly. If matching marks are required,
be certain they do not interfere with the function of the parts when applied.

Overhaul should be done in a clean work area, it is preferable to work in dustproof area.

Before disassembly, using steam or white gasoline, completely remove sand and mud from the exterior of
the unit, preventing them from entering into the unit during disassembly or assembly.

Check appearance of the disassembled parts for damage, deformation, and unusual wear. Replace them
with a new ones if necessary.

Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time when the unit is disassembled.

In principle, tighten bolts or nuts gradually in several steps working diagonally from inside to outside. If
tightening sequence is specified, observe it.

Clean and flush the parts sufficiently and blow-dry them.

Be careful not to damage sliding surfaces and mating surfaces.

When applying sealant, remove the old sealant from the mounting surface; then remove any moisture, oil,
and foreign materials from the application and mounting surfaces.

Always use shop paper for cleaning the inside of components.

Avoid using cotton gloves or shop rags to prevent entering of lint.

During assembly, observe the specified tightening torque, and apply new differential oil, petroleum jelly, or
multi-purpose grease as specified for each vehicle, if necessary.
