I don’t see a lot of info on people rebuilding transfer cases. Seems everyone wants to go the route of getting a used one. But they are getting more hard to find and I was able to get all new seals and bearings. I am not a pro but like doing things my own and if this can help anyone else then awesome. I am aware of needing proper preloads and gear contact.
My question is this, all the bearings are straightforward to replace except the forward bearing on the shaft to the driveline. It looks as though there is a tapered collar pressed in and sandwiched between the forward bearing and rear. Can someone confirm this?
It looks like that tapered collar has to be separated and pressed off to replace that bearing. Just to be sure it is the bearing right up against the gear on the output shaft of the transfer case, not the carrier that attaches to the output shaft on the tranny. I have a press and have rebuilt transmissions before but that bearing is a little hairy to get off.
