Yes the piece that goes on the shaft on the transmission

Never heard it called that.what exactly is you concern? Marks to slide it onto tranny? There are none.

On the fsm it says when removing the coupler to mark the gear so that when you reinstall it the teeth match up . I had to change the coupler because all the teeth wer melted but I pulled it with out marking the teeth on the gear that connects to the coupler to the rest of the t case assembly

You didnt mark the internal gears?

 

[latkins09]

No I did not

 

[pauleyman]

So this is your concern? How did you set bearing dimensions?

what do you mean ?

 

[pauleyman]

The bearing races are shimmed to get a particular preload or endplay. How did you sccomplish this?

 

[eclipto98]

im not sure if im understanding i bought the bearings new and just pressed them on the coupler , i didnt notice a shim of any kind.

The shims are behind the race
