DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY (Continued)

NOTE: Remove old sealant before applying new
sealant. Use MoparTRTV sealant, or equivalent,
when installing cover.
STIRRUP AND STRAP REMOVAL
NOTE: A stirrup and retaining strap is attached to
the transfer gear. The stirrup prevents the transfer
gear retaining nut from turning and backing off the
transfer shaft. The strap is used to hold the stirrup
to the transfer gear and prevent the stirrup retain-
ing bolts from backing out.
(1) Using a punch, bend tabs on strap flat against
transfer gear.
(2) Remove bolts holding retaining strap to stir-
rup.
(3) Remove strap from transfer gear and stirrup.
(4) Remove stirrup from transfer gear.
