Before you rebuild
A transfer case rebuild starts with a full teardown, and the condition of each part decides what goes back in. Check the input and output shaft bearings for roughness or play, look at the gear teeth for pitting, and inspect the case halves for cracks or worn bores. Gaskets seal against clean metal, so scrape old gasket material carefully and avoid gouging the mating faces. The chain is not supplied with this kit, so measure its wear during teardown and plan for a replacement if it has stretched or the rollers look worn. Fluid choice and fill level matter after reassembly, so check the level once the unit is back in the vehicle before driving. A rebuild is also a good moment to check the shift linkage, the mounting bolts and any nearby seals you can reach easily.
