Inspection
InspectionNOTE: To prevent damage to the transfer housing, always use soft jaws or equivalent materials between the transfer housing and a vise.
Transfer Gear Backlash Measurement
1. Set a dial indicator (A) on the transfer companion flange (B); position dial indicator tip (C) on the direct extension of the bolt hole canter (D).
2. Measure the transfer gear backlash.
Standard: 0.06-0.16 mm (0.002-0.006 in.)
Total Starting Torque Measurement
3. Rotate the transfer companion flange several times to seat the tapered roller bearings.
4. Measure the staring torque at the companion flange (A) using a torque wrench (B) and a socket (C).
5. If the measurements are out of standard, disassemble the transfer assembly and repair it.
