Condition
Transfer case input seal installation tool will not install seal to
correct depth.
Cause
New tool being developed.
Condition/Concern
Seal installation depth is critical when replacing the transfer case input seal. There is a gap
around the outer portion of the seal that needs to be centered over a weep hole in the case.
Weep hole is drilled in the center of a grove machined into the case. Tool # DT-50648-A Seal
Installer will not work for these applications.
There are 2 design transfer case front case halves and the seals install at different depths
between design 1 and 2. To identify design level look for a machined groove where the seal
is installed (Red circles below). If there is a defined machined groove in the case then it is a
first design case. If there is not a defined groove machined into the case then it is second
design.
First Design
Second Design
While GM works through the servicing tool strategies, J-45228 (4) can be used to drive the
seal in HOWEVER there is no stop at the correct depth. The seal will have to be driven in
slowly and seal installed depth checked. Be careful not to drive in to deep or you will need to
replace the seal again.
One tip for installation is to determine case design level, and put a mark on the outside of J-45228 at 17 mm for
rst design and 19.5 for second design (3) as a visual aid to stop when the mark is even with the case.
To verify correct installed depth using a vernier caliper check the distance between the case
and the outer part of the seal.
First design dimension 1 is 10 mm.
Second design dimension 2 is 13 mm.
Warranty Information
