4b. Place the transfer case in H position, and
set the parking brake.
4c. Loosen the bolt that holds the driven ele-
ment to the input shaft using a 9/16” 
wrench.
NOTE:  Hold the driven element from rotating 
using a pin spanner, if needed.
4d. Remove the bolt and washers.
4e. At this point, the driven element may be
slipped off of the transfer case input shaft.

CVT Installation
NOTE: The driving element and driven element 
can be installed individually, then the belt can be 
rolled-on as described in the belt removal sec-
tion of this chapter. 
Alternatively, both elements and the belt can be 
installed all-at-once using a simple wood-block 
tool. This method is described in the following 
steps. 
Preparation and torque specs remain the same 
for both methods.
6.
Make the wood block spacer as described in the 
accompanying illustration. See Figure 2.19.
6a. Prepare the CVT for installation:
•
Clean the shafts and the surrounding area 
before installing the CVT.
•
Confirm the presence of the .060” (1.5mm) 
spacer on the shaft between the driven element 
and the transfer case housing. 
•
A small amount of anti-seize compound may be 
used on the splined joint between the input shaft 
of the transfer case and the driven element.
•
The tapered joint between the driving element 
and the crankshaft must be clean and dry.
