CHRYSLER VOYAGER 2001 Service Manual

ADJUSTMENT - OUTPUT FLANGE SHIM
SELECTION
This procedure is used when the output flange is
replaced. Replacement of the output flange requires
installation of the correct size shim to maintain bear-
ing preload.The shim must protrude from the
new output flange the same distance that the
original shim protruded from the original
flange.
(1) Stand the original output flange on end with
shim side pointing up.
(2) Place original shim into groove in top of flange.
(3) Place a straight edge across the shim.
(4) Using feeler gauge, measure the distance
between the straight edge and the top of the flange
(Fig. 15). Record this measurement.
(5) Repeat steps Step 1 through Step 4using the
new flange and the original shim.Record this
measurement.
(6) If measurements are not equal, use a new shim
that protrudes from new output flange. Make sure it
protrudes the same amount.
(7) For Example: The original shim protrudes
0.075 inch from the original output flange. Place the
original shiminto the new output flange. The pro-
trusion of the shim in the new flange is 0.085 inch.
This indicates that a 0.010 inch thinner shim is
required to maintain the original protrusion.
(8) Install output flange and torque flange nut to
244 N´m (180 ft. lbs.).
(9) Check the turning torque of the pinion before
installing the rear cover into the P.T.U. The turning
torque should be between 2.0 N´m and 2.5 N´m (17
in. lbs. and 22 in. lbs.).

INSTALLATION
The end cover ball bearing can be removed and
installed without removing the Power Transfer Unit
from the vehicle. When replacing the bearing the out-
put seal must be removed to gain access to the bear-
ing.
CAUTION: When installing bearing, position the
bearing in place by hand square to the bore. Other-
wise, bearing and/or housing damage may occur
upon installation.(1) Use installer MD998200 and driver handle
C-4171 to install bearing (Fig. 20) into the housing.
(2) Install bearing retaining snap ring.
CAUTION: When installing bearing retaining snap
ring, be sure to index the snap ring so that the
snap ring does not cover bearing oil passage.
(3) Install new outer half shaft seal using
MD998334 seal installer (Fig. 21).Do not reuse the
old seal.
(4) Reinstall right front half shaft.
(5) Check and fill fluids as required.
