vehicle maintenance or service.
Install the Transfer Case
DANGER
Follow all safety guidelines and instructions provided by the lifting
device manufacturer. Check that the lift capacity marked on the
lifting device, straps and chains is correct for the weight being
lifted. If they are not marked with the lift capacity, do not use
them. Inspect lifting straps to ensure they are not damaged.
NEVER subject lifting straps to shocks or drop-loading. Failure to
follow these directives can result in death or serious personal
injury and damage to components.
DANGER
Support the transfer case with a lifting strap when transferring
the assembly from the repair stand to the vehicle. A transfer
case not supported correctly can fall. Serious personal injury and
damage to components can result.
1. Use a suitable lifting device to move the transfer case from the
repair stand to a suitable hydraulic roller jack. If used, remove
the temporary eye-bolts and mounting brackets from the
transfer case housing.
2. Move the transfer case into position under the vehicle with the
hydraulic roller jack.
3. Install the transfer case into the vehicle with the mounting
bolts. Tighten the bolts to the torque specification supplied by
the vehicle manufacturer.

the transfer case. Refer to the vehicle manufacturer’s
recommended procedure.
