NOTE: To prevent damage to the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and a vise.

Transfer Gear Backlash Measurement
1. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B); position the dial indicator tip (C) on the top of the bolt (D).





2. Measure the transfer gear backlash.
Standard: 0.06 - 0.16 mm (0.002 - 0.006 inch)

Total Starting Torque Measurement
3. Rotate the transfer companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearings.
4. Measure the staring torque at the companion flange (A) using a torque wrench (B) and a socket (C).
Standard: 2.12 - 3.45 Nm (21.6 - 35.2 kgf-cm, 18.7 - 30.6 inch lbs.)





5. If the measurements are out of standard, disassemble the transfer assembly and repair it.
