(I think I got the picture size fixed)
I had this week off, started by cleaning the shop up, then my son and I tore the transfer case out, I broke one of my 3 jaw pullers trying to get this flange off
We got it all apart, I came to the conclusion? question? thought? that I don't know how these you tubers always seem to have clean work spaces lol, they must be doing a lot of cleaning in between.
new KOYO bearings installed, 6.4 gear set installed, case is clearanced for the gears, but when I measured my clearance from the shafts to the case I needed some shims so I have to wait for those to come in.
waiting on the shims, we tore the front end down, new side gears, and spartan locker. it seems nothing can go easy on this, the shims supplied with the locker were way to thick, I ended up using some thick fender washers that I milled the diameter down to fit inside the locker. I don't know if its because of the brand new gears or what. everything fits snug now though. We got the third put back in but then I got a cold and it sucks, so I have not worked on it in 2 days.
question for anyone who has rebuilt a samurai transfer case, how many shims are too many between the case and shaft?
