Presets 1 2 3 4 5 6 AM FM 1 FM 2 XM 1 XM 2 XM 3 Bass Treble Balance Fade Speed Sen. Vol. 2. Disconnect both battery cables, negative cable first. 3. Remove the transfer assembly. Refer to the DLN section of the appropriate ESM, if needed. NOTE: Perform repairs in a clean working environment. 4. Remove the seven (7) bolts securing the pinion sleeve assembly to the transfer case (see Figure 1). Figure 1 5. Using a suitable tool, remove the pinion sleeve assembly from the transfer case (see Figure 2). CAUTION: Carefully tap on the companion flange only (see Figure 2). Figure 2 5/13 NTB11-017c 6. Remove the pinion sleeve’s O-ring seal by pinching inward, and then pulling it off (see Figure 3). CAUTION: Do NOT use a pick, scribe, pocket screwdriver, etc., to remove this seal. Possible scratching where the seal is seated may cause leakage. 7. Remove the nine (9) bolts securing the adaptor case to the transfer case. See Figure 4. Figure 3 NOTE: The red circled bolts are longer than the green circled bolts. 8. Remove the adaptor case from the transfer case by carefully tapping equally only on the areas noted in Figure 5 and 6. Remove its O-ring seal the same way as in Step 6. NOTE: The shims (if any) and bearing race may fall out. Make sure they are marked so they can be reinstalled in the same locations before re-assembly. Figure 5 Figure 4 Figure 6 6/13 NTB11-017c 9. Carefully remove the drive gear assembly from the transfer case (see Figure 7). NOTE: The shims (if any) and bearing race may fall out. Make sure they are marked so they can be reinstalled in the same locations before re-assembly. Figure 7 10. Place the transfer case on wood blocks, folded shop rags, or equivalent, and then tap out the seal with a suitable punch (see Figure 8). Figure 8 CAUTION: Angle the punch, making sure it does not scrape the transfer case’s seal mating surface (see Figure 9). Figure 9 7/13 NTB11-017c 11. Place the adaptor case on wood blocks, and then tap out the seal in the adaptor case with a suitable tool (see Figure 10). Figure 10 CAUTION: Tap out only from behind the seal lip where shown in Figure 11. 12. Clean off all parts (transfer case, pinion sleeve assembly, etc.). Figure 11 Inspect the mating surfaces of all seals for scratches, pitting, etc. 13. Coat the new O-ring seals for adaptor case and pinion sleeve with oil, and then install them (no picture shown). 14. Position the transfer case on wood blocks, and then install its new seal with tool J-42738 (see Figure 12). Position the seal’s outside surface flush with the transfer case’s surface. Figure 12 8/13 NTB11-017c 15. Install the drain plug with the sealant listed in PARTS INFORMATION, and then torque the drain plug. For drain plug torque, refer to the DLN section of the appropriate ESM. 16. Position the adaptor case as shown in Figure 13, and then install its new seal with tool J-50367. Make sure tool J-50367 bottoms out during seal installation. Figure 13 NOTE: The same shims (if any) and bearing race that may have fallen out of this location must be reinstalled in this location. 17. Apply masking tape or equivalent covering over the splined end of the drive gear assembly as shown in Figure 14. Figure 14 Bearing Race 18. Make sure the bearing race and any shims are installed and do not fall out during assembly. NOTE: The same shims (if any) and bearing race that may have fallen out of this location must be reinstalled in this location. Figure 15 9/13 NTB11-017c 19. Position the drive gear assembly on a wood block, and then install it by carefully lowering the transfer case over it (see Figure 16). Figure 16 20. While holding the drive gear assembly in place, invert the transfer case and set it on wood blocks (see Figure 17). Figure 17 21. Install the adaptor case to the transfer case (see Figure 18). Make sure the O-ring seal has been coated with oil. Align the dowels in the correct holes. Carefully tap the adaptor case as needed. Make sure the bearing race and any shims do not fall out during assembly. Figure 18 10/13 NTB11-017c 22. Apply anti-corrosive oil or equivalent to the bolts’ threads and seats, and then install and torque the bolts in a “star” pattern. See Figure 19 for bolts location: A = 45 mm (1.8 inch) bolts B = 30 mm (1.2 inch) bolts Bolts torque: 14-16 N•m (1.5-1.6 kg-m, 10.4-11.8 ft-lb) 23. Install the pinion sleeve assembly (see Figure 20). Make sure the O-ring seal has been coated with oil. Align the dowels in the correct holes. Carefully tap on the companion flange to fully seat the sleeve as needed (see Figure 20). Figure 19 24. Apply anti-corrosive oil or equivalent to the bolts’ threads and seats, and then install and torque the bolts in a “star” pattern. Bolts torque: 26-33 N•m (2.7-3.3 kg-m, 20-24 ft-lb) Figure 20 25. Replace the right side differential (CVT differential axle seal) oil seal. CAUTION: Be careful not to scratch the seal surface when removing and installing. 26. Clean off any assembly oil / lube, remove the tape (applied in Step 17), and then install the transfer assembly. Refer to the ESM, if needed. 27. Fill the transfer assembly. For warranty purposes, use the gear oil listed in PARTS INFORMATION only.
