Pass the transfer case through the opening "A" of the subframe, without touching the engine "B". The axle shaft "C" should be directed downwards. Connect the mated surfaces of the transfer case and gearbox housings, if necessary, turning the axle shaft to align the splines. When the units are correctly aligned, the transfer case fits against the gearbox without effort.
Instructions: Do not tighten the transfer case to the gearbox using the mounting bolts - the transfer case will be installed at an angle, and one of the mounting ears may break off (lug for mounting hole).
Screw in the upper bolts ("arrows") securing the transfer case to the gearbox and tighten them to a torque of 40 Nm, then turn them 90° further.
Screw in the lower bolts "arrows" securing the transfer case to the gearbox and tighten them to a torque of 40 Nm, then turn them an additional 90°.
Tighten the right axle shaft mounting screw to a torque of 35 Nm.
After this, install a new retaining ring "arrow A" and a new sealing ring "arrow B".
Install the transfer case mounting bracket in place. Pass the lug "A" behind the turbocharger support "B". Then turn the bracket toward the transfer case ("arrow"); In this case, the diesel particulate filter "C" should be lifted.
Screw the transfer case bracket to the engine and transfer case, observing the tightening sequence of bolts "arrows 1" and "arrows 2". Install the particulate filter in place.
If available, install a drive shaft heat shield on the transfer case (nuts -1-).
Screw the rear axle drive shaft to the transfer case "arrows". Apply grease -G 000 100- to the splines of the half-axle shaft. Install the right drive shaft.
Install the lower support of the power unit, bolts "1" and "2". Check the oil level in the transfer case.
Install the noise-insulating casing. Tighten the drive shaft "arrow" mounting bolt.
