Transfer Assembly Inspection - Out-of-vehicle

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 direct extension of the bolt hole canter (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.





4. Rotate the transfer companion flange several times 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).





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