Annular Bearings
NOTE: The front and rear output shaft annular bear-
ings are retained in the transfer case front and rear
covers by snap rings. The outer snap ring for each bear-
ing is a select-fit part available in four thickness ranges
which are: 0.060 to 0.063 inch (1.52 to 1.60 mm), 0.06k to
0.066 inch (1.62 to 1.67 mm), 0.067 to 0.069 inch (1.70 to
1.75 mm), and 0.070 to 0.072 inch (1.77 to 1.82 mm). The
inner snap ring for the bearings should always be 0.060
to 0.063 inch (1.52 to 1.60 mm) thick.

NOTE: If the rear bearing is being replaced, also re-
move the speedometer gear.

fit in bore and can be removed by hand. However, if
bearing is tight or if bore is scratched, use brass drift to
remove bearing.
