   1. Install a new transfer oil seal (A) flush with the transfer housing surface (B) using the 15 x 135L driver handle and the 58 mm oil seal driver attachment. NOTE: Apply a light coat of clean transmission fluid on oil seal before installation.

2. Transfer Hypoid Driven Gear - Install
3. Companion Flange - Install

   1. Secure the transfer housing (A) in a bench vise (B).

   NOTE: To prevent damaging the transfer housing, always use wood blocks or equivalent materials (C) between the transfer housing and the bench vise.

   2. Install the companion holder.

   3. Tighten the locknut while measuring the starting torque of the transfer output shaft (hypoid gear) so the starting torque is within 0.98-1.39 N.m (10.0-14.2 kgf.cm, 8.7-12.3 Ibf.in). Tighten the locknut to the lower torque specification, then check the starting torque. If the starting torque is low, increase the torque on the locknut until the starting torque is acceptable.

   Tightening Torque:
   	132-260 N.m (13.5-26.5 kgf.m, 97-192 Ibf.ft)
   Starting Torque:
   	0.98-1.39 N.m (10.0-14.2 kgf.cm, 8.7-12.3 Ibf.in)

   NOTE: 

   • Rotate the companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearings, then measure the starting torque.
   • If the starting torque exceeds 1.39 N.m (14.2 kgf.cm, 12.3 Ibf.in), replace the transfer spacer and reassemble the parts. Do not adjust the torque with the locknut loose.
   • If the tightening torque exceeds 260 N.m (26.5 kgf.m, 192 Ibf.ft), replace the transfer spacer and reassemble the parts.

   4. Remove the companion holder.

   5. Stake the locknut to a depth (A) of at least 0.7 mm (0.028 in) using a 3.0 - 3.5 mm (0.118 - 0.138 in) punch (B). NOTE: Be careful not to crack the locknut when staking.

4. Transfer Driven Gear - Install

   5. Stake the locknut to a depth (A) of at least 0.7 mm (0.028 in) using a 3.0 - 3.5 mm (0.118 - 0.138 in) (B). NOTE: Be careful not to crack the locknut when staking.

   6. Secure the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft assembly (A) in a bench vise (B). NOTE: To prevent damaging the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft assembly, always use wood blocks or equivalent materials (C) between the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft assembly and the bench vise. 7. Rotate the transfer driven gear (D) in both directions to seat the bearings. 8. Measure the starting torque of the transfer hypoid drive gear/shaft assembly using the torque wrench (E), and a socket (F). 9. If the starting torque is out of the standard, replace the transfer assembly .

   Starting Torque:

   1.63-5.23 N.m (16.6-53.4 kgf.cm, 14.4-46.3 Ibf.in)

5. Transfer Hypoid Drive Gear - Tooth Contact Pattern Check
6. Transfer Hypoid Drive Gear/Shaft Assembly - Install
