For now I got what shims toyota has in Oz and set the preload back to spec. There is quite a few sizes of them, which makes you think mr toyo allowed for some wear of those bearings. I used the race from the spare transfer as it was not marred. Not best practice but better than what it was...
Glad I pulled off the rear output shaft bearing retainer to have a look for what damage was done. The driveshaft rattled the output shaft of the transfer, explaining the leak which I thought was just the speedo cable initially, and then the output seal. This is what it did to the bearing race...
Ordered some shims from toyota, they have not many in Oz , have to get them from Japan. Be great if an Ozzie dealer sold them, don't want to drive around with slop in the transfer output shaft..
Hmm, no again. I can't find any shims on the spare h55 transfer? Here is some pics.
Rear output transfer shaft and bearing.
Companion flange..
Rear output shaft bearing retainer with bearing race removed. The race has a worn groove so it probably needs things changed out. But I can't find...
From what I can see on the fsm and cruiser brothers youtubby, it involves removing the rear output shaft bearing retainer (which has the speedo cable input). Then, more than likely, lessening the value of the shim?, most shims are a difference of 0.1mm which changes preload by 10kg, which...
