Now here is a decent update which like anything i post will be picture heavy lol but it involves my gas tank and a pretty much complete 205 breakdown and eventual rebuild, enjoy.
Now I've personally never taken a transfer case out or messed with one so like usual i went to the internet learned what i thought i would need and then had to get my hands dirty and in the end i can say..... this was one of the easiest things i have ever done. Although i might of had some help since all the bolts were already loose on the transfer case.
Tools required *Not a complete list*
Flat head screwdriver
Rubber mallet
Snap ring pliers
1-5/16" socket
Assortment of wrenches
Assortment of punches
Patience
This is the guide i used to help me take it apart -
http://www.wideopen4x4.com/NP205RebuildGuide.html, I suggest using it because its a huge help and i tried copying it as much as i could. Alsoyou can refer to this guide from ORD to help you figure out what 205 you have
http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog/NP205tech.htm, my case is a round pattern 32 long spline case
I'm going to assume everyone can get it to a work bench so that is where im starting from.
Step 1 - Drain oil and inspect if worried *I didn't drain mine before pulling*
Step 2 - Clean the transfer case *Mine was perfectly clean already*
Here we can already see some damage. Left shift rail ends bent and right shift rail has a piece of metal welded to it.
Step 3 - This much front output shaft play is all good right....?
Step 4 - Remove the lock nut from the front output shaft, i used an impact since i did not have a flange holding tool.
Here we can see damaged threads on the shaft i just buzzed through them which probably wasn't the smartest but its done now and the threads may pose a problem for me later i haven't decided.
Step 5 - Slide off yoke and remove 4 bolts for the seal/bearing retainer housing
A small screwdriver or pic may be required to pry it off
Step 6 - Remove bolts from large bearing retainer on the back of the case then remove the cover.
Step 7 - Tap the front output shaft with a rubber mallet out of the case
Step 8 - Remove the snap ring then bearing
I will continue posting more on this tomorrow
