The '90 by 1990JEEPXJ

2 minute(s) of a 112 minute read

and last night i started my transfer case rebuild project. the chain was stretched and rubbing the case sometimes. 4WD still worked fine, but sometimes when backing up in 4lo, it would skip a tooth if there was enough load. so i figured while i was in there i would do a total rebuild.

opened up

chain slopness

the chain was actually rubbing the side of the case by the front output

and why the front output seal was a pain to get out. it was loctited in there

and complete disassembly

thats where it stands as of tonight. now im waiting for the bearings to come in. i have everything else i need. the transfer case was surprisingly easy to take arprt. most things come out in large chunks. so hopefully monday night i will be done with the rebuild
