7c. Remove the four screws that hold the
adaptor housing to the transfer case using 
a 1/2” wrench. See Figure 2.88.
7d. Lift the adaptor housing off of the transfer
case, noting the tension pin that indexes 
the two housings to each-other.
7e. Pry or cut the hog ring off of the input
shaft. Discard the hog ring and replace it 
with a new one when the transfer case is 
being assembled. See Figure 2.89.

7f. Remove the screws that hold the case
halves together using a 1/2” wrench.
7g. Gently separate the case halves using the
three pry points, and a soft hammer if nec-
essary. Do not pry against the mating sur-
faces to separate the case halves.  
See Figure 2.90.
NOTE: The portion of the case that was lifted-off 
is identified as the “Left Case Half”. The other is 
the “Right Case Half”.

Input shaft:
NOTE: If new pinion gears, and the middle shaft 
gears that mate with them are installed in the 
transfer case, orientation of the gears on the 
shaft is unimportant. Once a wear pattern is 
established on the gear teeth, orient the gears to 
maintain that wear pattern. See Figure 2.91.
