RTH needed for Output shaft bearing retainer bolt length?
Is there some difference in output shaft bearing retainer bolt lengths based on years? I'm assembling a 4 speed transfer case with a machined double seal bearing retainer I got from Mark A. and my three longer bolts are bottoming out before they snug up. The shorter 13mm bolt that goes in the upper left corner appears to be needed for all four holes as the longer 20mm bolts run out of thread. My guess is this bearing retainer is from a 3 speed case that used all 13mm bolts. Can someone with experience with 3 speed cases please confirm that they use all 13mm length bolts to hold on the parking brake backer plate?
