Transfer Case
The transfer case is now fully disassembled, showing some damage to a couple of the gears. I found that the thicker centre row gear had a bit if movement against the splined shaft. If I rotated it, there was some movement around its axis. Not really understanding HOW this wear could have occured. No visible damage to the shaft or the gear itself, but it cant be right, surely? If anyone has a replacement for sale, please let me know.
I have taken photos to post, just not had the chance to upload them yet. Placed a HUGE order with the bearing shop in town. I thought the front end had a lot of bearings, but this transfer case takes the cake! Ordered 8 bearing cups, 6 bearings, and 3 seals.........so far. Im hoping to save several others. I dont even want to think about how many gaskets i'm gonna need to make! There might be a whole day just in doing those. Painting the seperate parts should get done this Sunday, since there's bugger all possibility of rain. Very little rain has fallen since the floods last January. Guess i'll be buying another tanker load of water soon. One last thing. Are the uni joints on CMPs the same as civilian used, or are they different? Thankyou,
