Install the NEW front transfer case electro-magnetic clutch. A. Make sure the outer plate is securely installed to the NEW front transfer case electro-magnetic clutch cover. NOTE Do NOT exchange ANY component of the NEW front transfer case electro-magnetic clutch, in which shim adjustment has been made, with ANY other kit component. Do NOT disassemble the outer plate from the cover of the NEW electro-magnetic clutch. Key Points: The engraved markings MUST be visible. When installed, the engraved markings (numbers) will face inward toward the front transfer case/transaxle. The outer plate is clocked correctly out of the box as NEW part (it is important to NOT remove the outer plate from the EMC cover). The reason for NOT removing the outer plate is because it can be easily bent/damaged (there is no reason to handle outside of the cover).
