all right so this is a 1993 jeep wrangler we are currently taking out the transfer case underneath the bottom it was making out a rattling noise first step take off the skid plate there's six bolts three on either side it was pretty rusted on there I'd use a cheater bar to take off the bolts after that you get underneath here take apart the driveshaft is connecting it to the very to the end differential and then you loosen up here on this there's four bolts one on either side take those apart so you can pull this apart later and there's going to be six Poltz that are inside between the transmission in the transfer case I was literally on either side make sure you take those off before you do any of that though make sure all of your connections all your wires are taken apart because if you drop the transfer case with those still connected you're going to be a lot more expensive problem than when you started also make sure you drain it there's a little drain plug here you go the liquid out it'll be a little bit lighter for when you actually do need to drop it the whole thing weighs like price 70 or 80 pounds the noise it was making when I was driving this so anytime that I was coasting you know along the road if I just take my foot off the gas pedal to coast he would make that noise I'm hoping it's just the chain inside a pretty easy fix should the chain itself should only cost around 80 bucks or so anyways once we get it off I'll let you know what happens all right so two more things the way to tell what type of transfer case you have um is right here on this as you can tell mine is a two three one J J's for Jeep also when you're doing it make sure you support your your transfer case like so I take them down the bowls it doesn't bend anything I'm as you can see we're using a pretty high-tech contraption I'm of a cinderblock in a nice little bowl we got from some girls all right so I finally got all the pieces in it was seriously a nightmare trying to get that chain back on basically you have to take every part out just a little bit like those main segments like the bottom gear that was attached to this guard in this guard just take them out a little bit and then just kind of like angle it all landed itch like plop it in on one go it seriously took like 15 minutes to get in lining everything up all right I'm guessing it'd be a whole lot easier if you do as the manual says and take out this section right here if you get this bolt out on the bottom I just we tried for probably 20 minutes to get that bolt unstuck and it wouldn't go so anyway that's it with the chain back on and we'll take it from there alright so we had we pulled it off this thing gave us a little bit of trouble um it plugs right into this little hole right here so we just pulled that out and then here we got the hole transfer case you can see those six bolts that were stuck inside of that very straightforward took two of us to get it out it's a pretty heavy little beast and that is how you remove a transfer case from a Jeep alright so here we have the transfer case of a Jeep it's a 93 YJ on the transfer case is the 231 J just going to walk through how to take it apart really quick so once you get this this part right here it's a little guard unscrew the three bolts that are holding onto it and then you got to snap it off in a clockwise direction we were having some difficulty getting it to go clockwise so just a sharp tap right here with a rubber mallet broke the whole thing off just make sure you don't scuff up any of those the ceiling or seals to the main part of it then you have this little ring right here it actually goes in this little groove this is a bee to get out we put two screwdrivers in that little section right there and kind of pried it apart and then just wrap a screwdriver around the inside worked out well enough now we're taking out these bolts right here that connected this part to the base of the transfer case and then we'll be able to pull that off and see what else is inside all right so then we have after we got off the top guard we have the base of this we took out all the different screws you only need to take out the sensor and sensors fine then we ended up taking a wrench and putting it underneath here popping that up popping this section up right there took some doing about three guys and we finally got it go ahead mess it off and then this is what we're left with you can pull this off as well make sure to disconnect that little tube right there we know that does it shouldn't be connected on there that's where we're at so far take off all right so there's two little grooves where's the other dominant one right here one on the other side and there's also this right here which was always used to to pry off this side of it and that releases this half of the transfer case so we're going to pull it off all right so we finally got the top half of the transfer case apart we also found what the problem was the chain goes right here around the gears we ended up just taking it off though I'm you're supposed to manual said you have to take this part off first and release that before you can get it done but we just jiggled surround telex game came off itself as far as what's wrong with the whole device pull this out tip it over so we got a better view on it so these impart here this whole mechanism comes apart as well so we got the main Schaffer got that gear and what the part that screws on that goes in between this little groove right here that's the part on my machine I was messed up so you can tell right here that it's kind of ground down along the edges and then if you look closely in here as well you can see like these silver bits of metal that have been ground off and that's what our problem was the whole rattle that was coming from it so I got a new piece for I got this and all the little protectors on it for about 60 bucks from I believe Morris 4x4 you can just do a google search for them and have some pretty good 4x4 parts anyway so I'm going to replace that and then put the whole thing back together and I'll walk you through that as well all right I just want to show just want to show really quick that it doesn't make that same noise anymore that was making before the clicking noise is now gone so that was the part that was replaced that was the problem just this right here you can see where it's kind of ground away when the gears inside so is this part that was making the making the noise alright so we're putting some gasket on right now I'm just so that we sealed up again it'll be tight and won't leak at all the particular gas is that we're using get that wrapper this is this high temp red silicone so it'll work out well for the transfer case you can just kind of see how thick we're putting it on there I'm just make sure it goes up and around each of the little bolt holes as well all right so one super important thing is to make sure that it is in four-wheel drive so you got your two pins your top one and your bottom one mount it as high as possible otherwise when you go to put in this little ring at the top it won't sit high enough and you won't be able to get it off trust me I've done this four times okay all right so when you're mounting now that the first half melted on the second half make sure you clean this off as a clean as you can get and make sure there's no red like epoxy stuff underneath this because it needs to sit flush put the pump cable inside of that and then put this down as flush as you can get it make sure you align the gears and everything and then be pretty generous with the the high temperature silicone you just want to make sure that it's not going to leak at all and then go ahead and and put the two on aligning the all the necessary parts all right so I've done this part on if you did decide to take out the sensor it's pretty simple to put back in as well you can either put it on as I did as a whole unit or you can put the metal part on first in the sensor on later I've seen it done both ways now as far as this o-ring goes I did finally break down and buy a pair of these to help spread the o-ring apart and move it I've actually we had a huge problem trying to get enough space with the o-ring there first it turns out this bearing right here comes out it was pulled out about a millimeter too far so I am I seriously spent probably five hours taking apart and reassembling the whole unit trying to figure out where that extra millimeter went so hopefully that'll save you some times just make sure that bearing is pounded all the way in it's pretty solid I have a rubber mallet here that I used anyway so when I get that this ring on and we'll take it from there all right and that is it looks like with the o-ring in place Wow all right once again copious amounts of the red stuff go ahead and slide it on top set it down make sure the the holes line up there is a right pattern for that then you got to make sure the bolts from the right spot and I will show you where the funky bolts are in a second all right so when you're putting the whole thing back together there's a few off bolts that aren't it the same as the rest of them this one up here at the top and as one of the different bolts you need a different socket head for that I'm add to buy an extra one anyway I'm in the second layer I'm here on the corner of the transfer case and it's this one and then on the bottom layer there's two that need washers and it's the same ones that have the little guiding rails when you put it when you put them both together so it's this one and at the other side is that so both of those will all of those will be the different bolts when you're putting it all together anyway it's all done now so you got to put it back in the Jeep and hopefully it all works all right so here we got er Neath the Jeep again we do have the transfer case mounted um back underneath the Jeep let me explain how we did it we put the little seal back onto the transfer case and mounted it up on top up onto this you know bolting it in normally it's a 14 millimeter ratchet that you need I put the drivetrain back in on this you can see here I need to do is just put it in place we put the transfer case in first and then just lift it up enough to slide this into place and put on little screws that you can see you're required right here as well on this back driveshaft this one was easier I mean just have to make sure to line the direction that this is first before you put this end into the transfer case so yeah that's where right now the transfer case is in I'm going to make another video to show how to do the the transfer case fluid basically you fill it through this one and you drain it through this other hole debt here so all I'm going to do is I'm just going to take this off and then pump the fluid into it and then close it up and it should be good now this is the next morning after I put all this red stuff on that was very liberal in putting on um so it's that time to dry and everything like that so it's good now to put fluid in um we should be good alright I filled it up just enough so that the oil would start coming out of this little plug right here and then I got to do is tighten it and you're good to go that's how to change the transfer case fluid in your transfer case alright here I am underneath the Jeep again I have this big plate the support that holds up the transfer case and transmission basically I did is I propped it up with uh with my Jack from my Tacoma and I put these two bolts in right there to hold it together and then once it's up then you can put the bolts in on the side so I got this one in it's pretty just straightforward from there I've done it all myself so it doesn't need to be a big multi person job I'm pretty straightforward alright the Jeep is back up and running on this with the Wrangler we were working on underneath here I got the support and straight thing back bolted on it was pretty rusted on there so I sprayed a little bit of lubricant in each of the bolts and it worked fine make sure you tighten up those two things as well I kind of forgot to do that but I did turn turn the rig on and everything works great I'm super I've never worked on a project like that before I mean it was fairly simple and straightforward as long as you get everything that you took off back in the right spot and you're good to go anyway if you have any questions feel free to ask
