I found a bit of play in my Transfer Case rear output shaft. Now I'm venturing into the internal guts of my KJs workings.
This is what my chain looks like. Is it stretched and should be replaced or is this somewhat normal?
The dealer said $242 for the chain. Much cheaper on-line, BUT, I'm in an "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mood.
Drained the Transfer case ( I used 30w synthetic last time)
Pulled the rear shaft and boot
Removed the Oil Slinger (PITA! Order a new one!)
Chiseled out the seal (PITA! Order a new one!)
Snap ring pliers or long thin needle nose to compress the large snap ring
Expanding snap ring pliers for the smaller shaft snap ring
Remove the extension housing bolts and housing with the bearing (break the seal by prying at the large Horns and tapping with a BFH.
Remove the internal snap ring and tap out the bearing. (Order a new one!)
