Tight spaces when I am working at night with the garage door closed. Borrowed a deep 36mm socket from a friend. Got off the nut from the flange, then used a 3 jaw puller to get the flange off Case is still together very tight, so I got out my favorite Harbor Freight tool, the gear puller set: The rod threads fit perfectly into the threads in the case Finally, after being ever so gentle with it, I heard a slight pop sound.... Some kind of device to prevent the chain from hitting the case/prevent falling off? Transfer case details Planetary gears transmission input This is how loose the chain was Needle bearings in the cover over the back of the front output shaft Needle bearings in the cover for the trans/rear shaft Chain was making contact with the pad Took the planetary gears off The spacer and needle bearings in the top left corner of this next pic came out while I slid the bigger gear off the shaft. Had to remove the pad to get the chain off the smaller gear Chain comparison: New (lighter colored)chain is so tight it doesn't bend as much as the old (darker)one Transmission input shaft taken out to put on new chain New chain is so tight, the big gear is hard to go back in (without removing the smaller one) Since I want to remove as little as possible, I 'help' it a little In and nice and tight Planetary back on. Need some sealant like what was on there before, some grey stuff....this maybe? DAMMMMmmmmm, the sealant is dried up, so close yet so far....anyway, I feel good about getting into the case and getting the chain on. I was so anxious to get the case back together I started getting Krazy!!@#$ OK, just kidding....I will call it a night for now. P.S. I found out from RealOEM.com Online BMW Parts Catalog that I can buy the exhaust stud as a dealer part ($2.50 from PelicanParts.com), so I will use a socket and a C clamp to try and get the broken one out. (They also have all the shaft seals for the transfer case, just in case...) Last edited by dville; 06-26-2009 at 03:36 AM. |

From a standing start, take off gently, and you won't notice any problem. More weight in car, or uphill, it will happen easier. |

Got the right stuff...
I even followed the instructions on the sealer to squish out wet sealer, then wait one hour to tighten. Hammered on the rear output flange Gasket sealer looks like the factory grey stuff now. Greased up the front splines Trying to get the broken stud out Tightening the output flange....with my $69 impact wrench Moving the air conditioner condensate drain line from above the front driveshaft Transfer case is installed back unto transmission, back to the broken stud...forget the clamp, a hammer and socket extension worked best. Out, you cursed bolt... |

Nice. If you weren't taking pictures, I'm sure the job would have been a lot quicker.

You don't "see" the finish. This isn't a bling "mod."
