(d) Install shim on output shaft (Fig. 94). Apply
small amount of petrolatum onto the shim to hold
it in place. Use the original shim as a starting
point. If original shim is not available, use the
thickest shim available. Refer to Output Shaft
Rear Shim Chart for available sizes.
(e) Install output shaft/rear carrier into rear
bearing. The shaft must be pressed into position.
Use special tool MD-998911 (Disc) and C- 4171 and
C4171-2 (Handle) to press shaft into rear bearing
(Fig. 95).
(f) Do not re-use old transfer shaft nut or
output shaft nut because the removed stake
weakens the nut flange. Using special tools 6497
and 6498, install new output shaft nut. Do not
reuse old output shaft nut. Tighten new output
shaft nut to 271 N·m (200 ft. lbs.).
(g) Check the turning torque of the output shaft
(Fig. 96). The shaft should have 1 to 8 in. lbs. of
turning torque. If the turning torque is higher
than 8 in. lbs., install a thicker shim. If turning
torque is less than 1 in. lb., install a thinner shim.
Make sure there is no end play.
