Hell that’s almost in now time for

At least you’re not selling it.

Still going the wrong way.

Still going the wrong way.

As long as the steering column and axles are in, you are in an ok spot.

Transfer case and transmission are 99% back together, just need to torque the stake nut and put the cap on.

Broke the wires off of the reverse light switch.

Almost picked the combo up and tossed it out in the ditch behind my house.

Also managed to get some epoxy primer shot.

Tomorrow evening I hope to roll the Monstaliner on the bottom of the tub, then it's time to start putting stuff back together.

Shot my beard with a nice dusting of epoxy primer. Added another 10 years of gray.

That won't go back in as easy I bet.


A big thanks to @cruiseroutfit for the rebuild kit, less than 48 hours and it was sitting in my garage.

Just got the same kit from them and finally finished mine. Except trans is next.

Hardest part was getting the needle bearing out of the inside of the output shaft.

Good thing I was serving a 30 day suspension at that time, there may have been some inappropriate posts.


Long story short, I used a lathe.

Well, this doesn't look good. Anyone know where this spacer is supposed to go?

It doesn't fit on the output shaft, fits loosely on the input shaft, but it seems like the input shaft spacer is correct.

I can't for the life of me find this spacer on any of the diagrams in the FSM.

Seems like it came off early in the t-case removal, I found it under the rig with the nut and washer for the drum brake.

 

[rkymtnflyfisher]

And yeah, looks like it's been spinning on something for a while.

 

[mrboatman]

That is a worn spacer that goes on the output shaft of the transmission before the transfer case goes on

Good grief, I hope not.

 

[mrboatman]

Did you have a spacer between the transmission output bearing and the transfer case gear that pokes through the seal?

Not when I put it back together. I just got a pm confirming that it is the one.

Looks like you already have your answer.

More info?!

These 3 spacers were discontinued years ago. Typically they’ve all “spun” just like yours and now so much material has worn away that the nut on the trans output shaft won’t tighten them properly.

Why does that happen?
From the factory, Toyota, used grade 8 washers between the rear spacer and stake nut. Over time, the washers will bent and concave, allowing the spacers to start rotating and wearing out. Toyota has since changed the washers out to a SAE case hardened unit. Of course, we keep these in stock as well.

Good news?
We reproduced these spacers. Started with thick wall DON, machined to size, then case hardened and ground to proper length.

Why?
Because the only way to build one of these transfer cases probably was to have the right parts. So we made them.

Happy to help!
