Transfer Box Fitted

Used the crane to hoist up the transfer box. Mounted the main gearbox on a number of wooden beams to raise enough to allow the awkward alignment of the transfer box. Then strapped the gearbox to the bench with some ratchet straps.

Applied some EP oil to the splines and surface of the transfer box seal. The guide pins were really useful.


Hoisting up.


Aligning.

Originally there were 4 bolts and 2 threaded studs. However, the transfer box returned from Ashcrofts with a threaded stud in one of the holes where an original bolt would have been fitted. The stud was not for removing so used that and fitted with a new washer and nut. All torqued up nicely.
