Topic: Changing rear tcase seal..... bushing?

[Complete Loser]

Just pulled my driveshaft so i could get to the fubar seal that was dangling around the drivshaft yoke. Anyways, in addition to the seal, there is also a bushing looking thing that slide off the tcase shaft.
What do i do with that? Reinstall with the new seal? 

Thanks in advance.

Ok. Ive researched enough to know its a bushing. But i dont know how far to drive the new one in Im assuming the rear seal must seal over some of the bushing?

I think you lost a snap ring... I thought there was one that held
the sleeve around the rear output shaft? Too long ago ... I'd look
at the exploded diagram on Advanced adapters if they still have it or maybe Quadratec?

Well, i ordered this bushing http://www.quadratec.com/products/product_search.php?kw=52201+01+%09&submit=Go

part #52201.01

I have a np231. It says it will work in nv207 awell. 

I looked at all kinds of diagrams, didnt see any retaining clips.? 

So assuming this is the right part i need, anything fun to look forward to when installing this?

I dont have the super special bushing installing tools.

It fits completely inside the tailshaft cone and is covered by the seal.  I've never seen one come out, and can't imagine how yours came out without damaging the entire tailshaft housing.

I've got a whole bunch of tailhshaft housings here from SYE installs, would be glad to send you one with the used bushing installed, for the cost of shipping.

Check with jeepers in your area, chances are there are some around leftover from SYE installs.

Thank you bounty, i will take you up on that. invoice me at adambond@ccrtc.com paypal if you would like. ?

You can tell inside my housing, that the bushing has been spun before.

Sounds like someone ran it dry then it spun and honed the seat.

Yup. Except they didnt hone it. lol Just ran it dry. When i drained the tcase, all i got was about 4oz of water.

hmm, you might have more surprises with the rest of it then - can't imagine being healthy inside if it ran w/o fluid.

They didn't hone it, the frozen bearing did.  The bearing ran dry them froze to the shaft and that honed the seat.  It happens with axle bearings occasionally which is a real PITA.

 I sent you a pay request.  You should tear down the entire transfer case and rebuild it, I'm sure the shift pads on the forks are worn at a minimum.  Replacement chains are around $70 and also a good idea.

[Complete Loser]

Thanks. I sent the dough.

I will rebuild this fall. Both my vehicles are down at the moment. So i have to get this sucker moving. :(
