Thread: High KMS - Transfer case...

Thanks Josh.

So can i just remove propshafts and their stub ends to regrease tc splines, or does the entire transfer case have to come out?

I see the tc has one side hollow shaft and the other a stub shaft, both splined of course.

Hey Eric,

I removed, the shield over the rear shaft, the rear shaft. The front shaft at the TC end. The rear mount. Pushed the TC up and removed the mount, sat a peice of ply under the rear of the box. Pulled the electrics and the breather. Pulled the box. The box has to come out to be regreased. The stock grease is pretty thick. You need a bit of time to clean it out. My TC wasn't all the slop in my drive train. But I'm glad I greased that shaft before it became a problem. The mates hoist is a real life saver.

Eric, DIY Garage WA session? We can use the lifts there. I can do my valve body and TC regrease and you can do your TC regrease. Together we can help each other and enjoy a hoist!

That's all good in theory. But you didn't mention beer?
The upper transfer bolts are bitches. The ones close to the top are bitches also. Maybe worse. The good news is the case isn't that heavy. I did it myself. But you could easily get two people under there and not destroy someone's back.

I’m in! Many spanners make light work.

Hi Justin,

Thanks Roger
