I'm finally getting around to installing my Sumo gears, and during disassembly of the transfer case, I noticed that the transfer oil pump has the parts in a different orientation than Georg Esterer mentions in the video he did with Timmy the tool man.

In the video I believe he says the arrow marks go on the visible side (toward the pump key). 52:25

On the one I just took apart (supposedly out of a 1996 LX450) has the center section mark up and the outer section had the mark down. I have no way of knowing for sure (got the transfer case from a salvage yard on ebay), but it doesn't look like anyone has been in this case before.

I'm 99% sure I kept the parts oriented exactly as I removed them.

Anyone have any experience or advice? I'm inclined to follow Georg's advice, but want to make sure I'm not doing something silly.

From the FSM. Need to align the marks so both arrows must face outward.
