Transfer Assembly Inspection (M/T)

Transfer Assembly Inspection

Transfer Gear (Hypoid Gear) Backlash Measurement

1. Remove the transfer assembly Transfer Assembly Removal (M/T).

2. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B) as shown.





3. Measure the transfer gear backlash.






Total Starting Torque Measurement

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

5. Securely clamp the transfer assembly in a bench vise with wood blocks.









6. Measure the starting torque (companion flange side) using a beam-type torque wrench.

Transfer Drive Gear Tooth Contact Inspection

7. Remove the transfer assembly from the bench vise.

8. Remove the transfer holder assembly (A) from the transfer housing (B), then remove the 10 x 20 mm dowel pin (C) and the O-ring (D).





9. Apply Prussian Blue to both sides of the transfer drive gear teeth lightly and evenly.

10. Install the transfer holder assembly to the transfer housing, then tighten the bolts. Do not install the O-ring.

11. Rotate the companion flange in both directions until the transfer gear rotates one full turn in both directions.

12. Remove the transfer holder, and check the transfer drive gear tooth contact pattern. The pattern should be centered on the gear tooth as shown.





13. If the measurements are not within the standard or the tooth contact pattern is incorrect, disassemble the transfer assembly and repair it.
