Transfer Assembly Inspection - Out-of-vehicle

Transfer Gear Backlash Measurement

1. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B); position the dial indicator tip (C) on the direct extension of the bolt hole center (D).





2. Measure the transfer gear backlash.






Total Starting Torque Measurement

3. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B) with soft jaws. To prevent damaging the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and the vise.





4. Rotate the transfer companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearings.

5. Measure the starting torque at the companion flange (C) using a torque wrench (D) and a socket (E).





6. If the starting torque is out of the standard, disassemble the transfer assembly and repair it.
