Ive just about got my transfercase buttoned up but now stuck on the preload. Ive read coolermans rebuild and watch George's rebuild also. Both very helpful- Im now trying to measure the preload with a fishscale and not sure about what the actual reading. Coolerman says 12-13 lbs on the scale. FSM measures in inch/lbs. 6.1-10.4 inch-lbs.
I followed the method in the FSM and got .34 lbs. Coolerman states 12-13 lbs. seams quite high to me. Anyone help out with this?
Also the output bearing retainer torque in the Toyota trans manual says 25 ft. lbs. Coolermans says 12-14 ft. lbs. The FSM actually doesnt provide it. 25 seemed on the high side as I was torqueing down. One of the bolts stretched. Anyone confirm these numbers.
This is for a 78 t case.
thanks
