Output Flange: Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Install the transfer case rear output shaft flange.
- Using the special tool, install the pinion nut.
- Install the transfer case. For additional information, refer to POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU) - AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE or POWER TRANSFER UNIT (PTU) - MANUAL TRANSAXLE .
CAUTION:
Install the transfer case rear output shaft flange to engage the spline as previously marked.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the pinion nut.
CAUTION:
Refer to the rotational torque previously recorded with an in-lb torque wrench.
CAUTION:
If the rotational torque is less than specification, tighten the drive pinion nut in small increments until it is within specification. Do not tighten the drive pinion nut more than 678 Nm (500 lb-ft) or the collapsible spacer will be damaged. If the rotation torque is higher than specification, the collapsible spacer has been compressed too far and a new collapsible spacer must be installed.
