Removal

It is not recommended to overhaul the transfer assembly because a special three-dimensional measuring instrument is required to determine the sizes of the transfer assembly spacers when disassembling and reassembling the transfer assembly. If putting wrong sized spacers in the transfer assembly, it may cause noise and vibration.So, if inner parts of the transfer assembly need to be replaced, the transfer assembly should be replaced with new one.

1.	Lift up the vehicle.

Remove the propeller shaft bolts.(A-4ea)

Tightening torque :

49.0~68.6N.m (5.0~7.0kgf.m, 36.2~50.6lb-ft)

3.	Remove the right driveshaft (passenger side) from the transfer case. (Refer to "Drive shaft" in DS group)

Remove the roll rod bracket(C) after removing bolt(A,B).

Tightening torque :

(B) 49.0~63.7N.m (5.0~6.5kgf.m, 36.2~47.0lb-ft)

(D) 107.9~127.5N.m (11~13kgf.m, 79.6~94.1lb-ft)

5.	Remove the sub frame. ("Front suspension system" in SS group)

Remove the transfer case up and down mounting bolt (A-4ea, B-1ea).

Tightening torque :
