Also, I need to buy new nuts for the flanges and also the large nut that holds the flange to the shaft. As near as I can judge, the four bolts are 3/8 UNF and the flange nut is 5/8 UNC. Can anyone confirm or deny that please?
The transfer box had ATF in it - do I need to flush it to put engine oil in, or can I just drain and refill with oil?
Thanks,
Paul
Those bolts and nut descriptions sound correct but I can check in the morning if you like. You should replace the seal if you disturb it as they have a habit of leaking if you don't. And while you have the dust shield off the drive flange put it back on the other way so the flat side is to the front - helps keeping mud etc off the seal face. Don't bother flushing it. Just add the correct type of oil.
