  50. Fig 23: View Of Transfer Case Bolts
    GM819583Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
    NOTE: This component is made of magnesium. Proper assembly is required to prevent damage. Ensure the magnesium transfer case housings are properly insulated from all external steel components, or galvanic corrosion will occur. New nylon coated case bolts and aluminum washers must be used. Use only aluminum fill and drain plugs. Use only aluminum brackets under the case bolts. Ensure new seals are installed that have a rubber insulated outside diameter and have no tears or cuts. Extensive damage will occur if there is galvanic corrosion between the magnesium and steel components.
  51. Inspect the nylon coating on the case bolts for cuts or tears.
  52. Replace the case bolts if there is any damage to the nylon coating.
  53. IMPORTANT: The case bolts are self-tapping; they must be hand started. Do not use power assisted tools to install the bolts.
  54. Install the case bolts, the washers, and the brackets.

    Tighten:  Tighten the case bolts to 21 N.m (15 lb ft).
