Use a
piece
of tub­
ing for installing the bearing
cone
and roller as­ semblies on the output shaft to prevent damage
to the assemblies.

Early
production transfer cases were equipped with
a
lVs" [2,86 cm.] diameter intermediate shaft

and
caged
needle
bearings. When installing the intermediate gear in early production transfer cases,

insert
the bearings in the gear, support the front

thrust
washer with Pilot Pin Tool W-192,
Fig.
K-10,
position the gears and
rear
thrust washer, and
insert
the shaft from the
rear
of the case.

Late
production transfer cases were equipped with
a
1
Vi"
[3,18 cm.] diameter intermediate shaft,

and
bearings consisting of individual rollers and
spacers.
A dummy shaft is required to install the
intermediate shaft. The dummy shaft should be slightly smaller in diameter than the intermediate
shaft and a little shorter than the width of the
intermediate gear. To install the intermediate gear,

first
load the bearing rollers and spacers in the gear using the dummy shaft.
Then
supporting the
front thrust washer with the fingers, position the gears and
rear
thrust washer and insert the shaft

from
the
rear
of the case, driving out the dummy
shaft.

Should
it be necessary to replace the
speedometer

driven
pinion bushing installation may be
best

made with bushing installer Tool W-133, shown
in
Fig. K-13. When the
rear
bearing cap assembly
is installed, check the end
movement
of the main-
shaft which determines the adjustment of the
tapered roller bearings. For correct bearing adjust-

ment, the shaft should have .004" to .008"
[0,102

a

selective
shim installation
between
the cap and the
case. Shims .003", .010" and .031" [0,076,
0,254,

0,787
mm.] in thickness are available for this ad­
justment. Do not install the rear cap oil seal until
the bearings are correctly adjusted. Both the front
and
rear oil seals may be installed with oil seal

driver
Tool W-143, shown in Fig. K-12.

When
installing the end yokes on the output shafts,
inspect for the presence of
felt
seals in each oil
seal guard. (The oil seal guard is a part of each
yoke assembly.) Felt seals should be installed in the oil seal guards if
they
are not present. When
installing the shift
rail
oil seals in the front bear­
ing cap, it is necessary to protect the seals against
damage when passing over the shift
rail
notches.
Protect them with the thimble, and install them with the driver, Tool W-130, shown in Fig. K-9.

K-7.
Transfer Case Installation

The
installation of the assembly in the vehicle is
the reverse of the removal operation covered in
Par.
K-2.

If
the transmission was removed from the vehicle,
lubricate the pilot bearing and also lubricate the
transmission and transfer case as outlined in the

"Lubrication
Section". Be sure that the clutch pedal has %"
[19,05
mm.] free travel as outlined

in
the
"Clutch
Section".

Needle Bearing
and
Trunnion Universal Joint

Each
shaft is equipped with a splined slip joint at one end to allow for variations in
length
caused by vehicle spring action.
Some
slip joints are marked
with arrows at the spline and
sleeve
yoke, Fig.
L-3.
When installing, align the arrows in the
same plane. If unmarked with arrows, align the
yokes
at the front and rear of the shaft in the same

parallel
plane. This is necessary to avoid vibration.

All
the universal joints used are similar in construc­
tion
except
that
some
are of the "U"-bolt
type
and 10315

FIG.

others of the "Snap Ring'* type. This difference
is in the attachment of the joints only. These universal joints have
needle
bearings and

are
so
designed
that correct assembly is a very sim­
ple matter. No hand fitting or special
tools
are

required.

move
the snap rings, pinch the ends
together
with

a
pair
of pliers. If the rings do not readily snap
out of the groove, tap the end of the bearing lightly
which
will
relieve pressure against the rings.
After
removing the snap rings, press on the end of
one bearing until the
opposite
bearing is pushed
from
the yoke arm.
Turn
the joint over and press
the first bearing back out of that arm by pressing
on the
exposed
end of the
journal
shaft. Use a
soft
ground drift with a flat face about [0,8 mm.]

smaller
in diameter than the
hole
in the yoke arm
and
drive it out, otherwise there is danger of damag­ing the bearing.

Repeat
this operation for the other two bearings,
then lift out
journal
assembly by sliding it to one
side.

Type Assembly

Wash
all parts in cleaning solvent and inspect the
parte
after cleaning. Replace any parts that indicate
extensive
wear.
It is advisable to install new gaskets
on the
journal
assembly regardless of the condition of the old gaskets. Make certain that the grease

channel
in each
journal
trunnion is open.

Pack
the bearing
cones
one-third
full
of lubricant
and
install the rollers.
Draw
the bearings into the end yoke arm and seat
them firmly against the bearing shoulders. Hold
the bearings in a vertical position to prevent the
needles
from dropping out until the joint is as­ sembled. If the joint binds when assembled, tap
the arms lightly to relieve any pressure on the bear­
ings at the end of the
journal.

L-5.
U-Bolt
Type Disassembly

Removal
of the attaching "U"-bolt releases one set
of bearing races. Slide the propeller shaft into the
yoke flange to remove them using care not to
lose
the rollers.
After
the removal of the one set of bearing races,
release the other set by removing the snap rings

in
the
sleeve
yoke by pinching the ends
together

with
a
pair
of pliers. Should the rings
fail
to snap
readily
from the groove, tap the end of the bearing
lightly,
which
will
relieve the pressure against them.

Press
on the end of one bearing, until the
opposite
bearing
is pushed out of the yoke arm.
Turn
the

universal
joint over and press the first bearing out
by pressing on the
exposed
end of the
journal
as­
sembly. Use a
soft
ground drift with a flat face about
\{i
[0,8 mm.] smaller in diameter than the
hole
in the yoke
arm
and drive out the bearing.
Lift

the
journal
out by sliding to one side.
Clean
all
parts
and check for wear.

L-6.
U-Bolt Type Assembly

Wash
all parts in cleaning solvent and inspect the
parts
after cleaning. Replace any parts that indicate
extensive
wear.
It is advisable to install new gaskets
on the
journal
assembly regardless of the condition
of the old gaskets. Make certain that the grease
channel
in each
journal
trunnion is open.

Pack
the bearing
cones
one-third
full
of lubricant
and
install the rollers.
Draw
the bearings into the end yoke arm and seat
them firmly against the bearing shoulders. Hold the
bearings in a vertical position to prevent the
needles
from dropping out until the joint is as­
sembled. If the joint binds when assembled, tap the arms lightly to relieve any pressure on the
bearings at the end of the
journal.
Tighten the
U-bolts equally. U-bolt torque wrench reading is 15 to 20 lb-ft. [2,07 a 2,76 kg-m.].

When
installing the assembly in the vehicle be sure
that the arrows on the propeller shaft and yoke

sleeve
are in alignment as shown in Fig. L-2, or
that the unmarked joints are aligned with the yokes in the same parallel plane.

type
driving gears and spherical steering knuckles mounted m pivot pins which ride on tapered roller bearings for
ease
of steering. The drive is of the
full
floating
type
through axle shafts built integrally

with
cardan cross universal joints which revolve in the steering knuckles. The steering knuckle tie rod

arm
is made integrally with the knuckle. The
knuckles
are connected by a divided tie rod to a steering bell
crank.
A steering connecting rod con­

nects
the bell

to the steering gear arm. The

divided
tie rod is adjustable and the

The
front wheel bearings should be checked every
12,000
miles. Refer to Section Q. Front wheel toe-

in
is adjustable by lengthening or shortening the
tie rod. However, standard caster and camber of
the front
wheels
are built
into
the axle. Wheel
caster can be adjusted by placing tapered shim
plates or
wedges
between
the springs and spring

seats
welded to the axle housing. Steering
geometry

and
front wheel adjustments are discussed in Sec­ tion O.

The
axle housing should be checked periodically
for weld cracks and/or other damage that may cause misalignment of the front
wheels
or
loss

of lubricant. The spring clips (U-bolts) should be
inspected and torqued every
12,000
miles. Torque (spring clip) nuts 45 to 50 lb-ft. [6,2 a 6,9 kg-m.].
