10. Remove and discard the seals from both halves
of the transfer case housing. See Figure 2.104.
NOTE: Use caution not to damage the seal
bores when removing the seals.
11. The bearings need not be removed from the
case unless they are bad. Inspection will be cov-
ered in the next section of this chapter. If the
bearings do need to be removed:
11a. The right side case half contains three
bearings. See Figure 2.105.
• The input shaft bearing fits in a blind bore.
• The middle shaft bearing fits in a shouldered
bore that is open to the outside of the case.
• The output shaft bearing fits in a shouldered
bore that is open to the outside of the case.

11b. The left side case half contains three bear-
ings: See Figure 2.106.
• The input shaft bearing fits in a shouldered bore
that is open to the outside of the case.
• The middle shaft bearing fits in a blind bore.
• The output shaft bearing fits in a shouldered
bore that is open to the outside of the case.
11c. The bearings that fit in the blind bores may
require a blind bearing puller to remove
them from the case.
11d. The bearings that fit in the open bores
may be driven-out by their inner races
ONLY if they are not to be re-used.
11e. The cases may be evenly heated in an
oven to not more than 200 deg.f. (93
deg.c.). This will ease bearing removal
and installation, as will chilling the bear-
ings immediately prior to installation.
CAUTION: DO NOT use a torch to heat the case
halves, as the heat applied by a torch is too
uneven and may distort the case.
