ROCKCRAWLER Tom Wood's 231 Short Shaft Kit

 

STEP 18

Re-install the rear output bearing housing after you let the gasket set for approximately 20 minutes. Torque to 30lbs.

STEP 19

Install the 3/4" spacer seen in the top left of this image on the end of the mainshaft that is extruding from the rear output bearing. Just slide it over the end of the shaft. You'll be securing it in the final step.

STEP 20

Apply silicone gasket to the edge of the short "output cone" or seal housing that Tom Wood provided with his kit. Install the seal housing onto the end of the rear output bearing housing and tighten the bolts.

STEP 21

This is the completed Tom Wood Short Shaft Kit transfer case assembly without the output flange. This gives you an idea of length of the modified mainshaft of the finished product.

STEP 22

Now all you have to do is bolt down the output flange. The end of the shortened mainshaft is threaded, so using the hardware provided, bolt the flange over the end of the mainshaft. Keep turning until the washer in the center deforms. The output flange is now turned down tight against the 3/4" spacer installed a few steps ago.

On PAGE 8, our transfer case has been reinstalled, and we take a look at the completed project.
