Before Service Precautions

Assemble with bare hands or using vinyl gloves. To prevent foreign material from entering the transfer, do not use cotton work gloves or a rag.
Apply sufficient gear oil to the sliding surfaces and O-rings, and be careful not to damage when assembling.
Replace the transfer with a new one if the case alignment surface is damaged. Be careful not to damage it since it may cause oil leakage.
When installing silicone sealant, clean off the old sealant adhering to the sealing area and clean the sealing area with cleaning fluids.
After installing a seal, leave the parts alone for 2 h or more . Do not add oil or operate the vehicle during this time.

WARNING:

The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism. However, if the transfer is tilted, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. This could cause the transfer to rotate accidentally, resulting in injury. Therefore, make sure that the transfer is not tilted when it is on the engine stand. When turning the transfer, grasp the rotation handle firmly.
