I was working through gear oil replacement on her today. Front diff is smooth and fine. Rear smooth and easy, transfer case FML.
I removed fill and drain without issue. Cleaned, replaced drain plug and filled it just fine. The using torque wrench set to 27ft lb I’m attaching the fill plug and snap! The fill port (think that’s the name) snaps. The bottom piece fell to the ground and top appears to be still attached (see pics of pieces).
I have no idea if someone before me torqued it too hard or what. But I know I’m losing my mind.
Is there anything I can do outside of replacing the backside of the transfer case. I did some searching and looks like all the other posts are about stripping the bolt receiver vs. breaking it.
Thanks in advance.
