Well, got my bear and seal kit and chain and oil pump is supposed to be here in a day or so. But just read that I have to split the tone ring with a hammer and chisel. Now I don't have one of those ordered. At a loss again on this thing. Gotta see if I can get one air freight in here since my house's closing is TODAY. Thank God the buyer is a great guy and going to let me use my shop to finish up the truck. He even said he is a mechanic and will try to help me..
Does anyone know why the main shaft will not come out of the rear case. Is there a snap ring or is it just not coming out of the rear output bearing. It has the clutch coil in this location and was wondering if this has something to do with the main shaft coming out of the rear case. I got my bearing/seal kit but can't change out there rear output bearing if I can't get the main shaft out of the rear case. Usually I figure these things out but have to admit. This one has me really stumped. Need some help on this situation...
I'm not sure that has to be done... Just yet anyway. I just got to get some advice first on why the main shaft will not come out of the rear case. I was thinking the clutch coil has something to do with it but I really need some input on this one. I usually figure these things out but not this time.. Need some input from someone who know what is going on here.. Is the main shaft just stuck in the rear output bearing or is there something like a snap ring I have to remove. I can't get to any of them that looks like it would make any difference in that bearing coming out of the rear case.. Just feeling really dumb at this point after staring at this thing for a couple of days while waiting on the bearing/seal kit to come in. HELP...PLEASE..
I have never heard of having to split a tone ring to get anything dismantled.
You working without a book ?
busted if not following the proper order of things.
I have always used the diagram that lays out the parts and have always been able to see where and what I have to do. But this time it would be pretty helpful with a manual.You working without a book ?
Next step in this rebuild project would be to get an overhaul manual on the truck You are repairing.
Every piece of equipment I have and use, very first thing I do is get the book. If there is a component of that piece of equipment that is not covered in the repair book, then, I search and scrounge until I find the procedures for that component, then either print it out or purchase it.
Dont do this blind man. There most likely is some delicate procedures that can get
Sometimes a manual can be purchased in electronic E form and downloaded as soon as purchased. Myself I prefer the hard copy thats printed in the book form.
I have both manuals and they don't go into the transfer case at all. They show a little on how to remove it and don't show a thing about tear down or rebuild. I already checked both of them. I really thought the Chilton manual would have shown more but they didn't either.
This is a bw4407. Different to the bw4401. This one doesn't have the clutch coil in it that I can see. I have watched this video about 3 or 4 times in the last few days just hoping I would see something that would help. But thanks for the video. Anything could help.
A fellow at a auto parts told me to pull the tone ring off of the shaft, then remove the to snap rings, then remove the shaft from the bearing. And that was what I had to do to get the shaft out. It says "Do Not Remove" right on the side of the tone ring but I can find no reason why I should not reuse it. The person said they reuse them on the bw4401 so think I will use the one I have.
Nice that You got it dismantled.
