Inspection

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





2. Measure the transfer gear backlash.
Standard: 0.06 - 0.17 mm (0.002 - 0.007 in.)

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 a vise.





4. Rotate the companion flange several turns to seat the tapered roller bearings.
5. Measure the staring torque at the companion flange (C) using a torque wrench (D) and a socket (E).
Standard: 3.20 - 4.16 Nm (32.6 - 42.4 kgf-cm, 28.3 - 36.8 lbf-in.)
6. If the measurements are out of standard, disassemble the transfer assembly and repair it.
