transfer case WTF?

[crawlin cruiser]

Im doing a quick "refurbish" on my case due to a split in my old one

basically parting a few cases together best parts blah blah. Ive done numerous rebuilds so I know whats going on.

Heres the deal, Im setting the preload on the main shaft(backlash whatever you wanna call it) and I have NO shims in the extension housing. the preload is too tight. I cant even turn the case. there are no shims in the nose cone either?

ummmmmmm.......................??????

Did you mix up the sleeves? Not an expert, just an idea.

disregard!

Are the gaskets in place between the nosecone & case? Between rear bearing retainer & case?

If you are sure everything is right, but the preload is still too tight, try adding a second gasket between rear retainer & case.

maybe a bad bearing binding up

I ended up doing some fancy machining work to the extension housing. Seems to work now
