Once rtv is applied both pieces need to be put together right away ( rtv instructions) then finger tight bolts until rtv is slightly squeezing out. Let set 1 hr, then torque to spec. Following rtv instructions really works 100%. God bless and enjoy.
I like how the video shows removing all the other snap rings except that heavy duty one. That thing was a pain in the butt to get off the original shaft and 10 times worse to get on the new shaft
What you need is "horseshoe ring pliers" proto's part # is 250G. You can find these pliers also by searching for "special lock ring pliers". They have knurled surfaces to spread the eyeless lock rings.
awesome, I finally find the official AA video, great job, planning on doing my install today and this helped a lot. might want to put jeep in the title though, it was difficult to find this
Great vid... Turn the speedo sensor to another position and while transfer case turns freely ajust it also make sure sensor seated well ..u can feel the senson tick when engaged
Yes, the large spring is on the rail and gets compressed when the rear of the case is bolt back on. However there is one other one that also comes to mind. We can email you a picture if you need it. send us a PM for email info since posting it to the video comments is prohibited.
Where do you buy the star seal, no one at the auto parts knows what I’m talking about? I’m also having bearing noise from the cage bearing, chanted the fluid, just keeps squawking at low speeds, goes swat after driving it for awhile… also if the transfer case is in nuetral I try spinning that rear yoke, I have to spin it and it doesn’t spin freely, like the bearings are shot
Is there a reason you left the oil pump off when you first put the case back together? Why not leave them connected so you don’t have to use that little pick to attach the two?
Had a shop do my SYE. Drove 467 miles in one month and now it is stuck in 4 Hi. Tried driving slowly forwards and backwards while shifting into 2 Hi with no change. Disconnected the linkage and tried shifting the transfer case manually. No change, still in 4 Hi. Question: If the snap ring holding the gear in place on the shaft is not correctly installed, will the gear move out of position and cause the transfer case to be stuck in 4 Hi? The linkage is not the problem.
When I opened up my case there was one spring sitting at the bottom of the case and one was on the shift rod. I'm assuming that the second spring probably fell off the rear of the shift rod when I was disassembling. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
On the off chance. I am installing Advance Adaptors SYE arrives from Rusty's tomorrow. Started disassembly however my snap ring pliers are (expensive) shite! What brand is being used here? can be seen at 01:30. They look decent. Are they? Thanks
I had the same problem. For anyone wondering, what you need is "horseshoe ring pliers" proto's part # is 250G. You can find these pliers also by searching for "special lock ring pliers". They have knurled surfaces to spread the eyeless lock rings. You can do it without them but it's a real pain.
Did your installation require the step of pressing out the needle bearing cages? If so the lubrication system on those shafts are different than the style that we build. This will not effect the performance or have any adverse effects on the lubrication properties of your transfer case.
hi i installed my kit today and i have a concern with the new shaft i fitted all seems fine for now after driving it today .. but the old shaft had a oil feed hole to supply oil to the gears that where swaped over and the new shaft does not have a oil feed hole for this point it has other hole where the planitary splines are if anyone could let me knoe if this is normal of if i am gioing to soon have a permenat 4wd due to gear running dry on shaft and sezing ?? thanks
Hello I just installed one of these and cycled through all positions to make sure the shift rod was short enough. The shift rod would hit the new tail housing and bind if it's too long.
Foof50 I used a 3lb sledge hammer head to stop the yoke from spinning against the transfer case casing. However something wood would be the better option as it's softer than the aluminum casing.
Much easier to just disassemble the oil pump and realign and stick the tube in. It’s how they did it at the factory and trying to do it with a little stick is some nonsense

For real
That is the whole reason I watched this video
Maybe advance adaptors has a little tip…
NOPE

great video! concise, precise, clear ... !!!
You said to leave the cover off for an hour to cure .i would put cover on so it stick but don't tighten until cure
What kind of lock ring pliers are being used at 5:50 in the video? I'm having a hard time finding anything local that opens large enough.
Is there a video you can recommend that’ll show you how to press the bearing out so I can fit it on the shaft? I have the old style 231..

Will red or clear RTV work the same?? That’s all I have on hand..
Is this the same process for a '91 NP231J?
4wheel drive high or low position
what happens if u remove the two snap rings and the tail housing don't come off
Very good video! Some time i planning to do this for my YJ!

What happens if the slide hub thing gets installed backwards?Mine keeps popping out of 4 low and I’ve checked everything
Where can you get that bench top yoke holder???
Best video I've ever seen..
Excellent, Thanks for sharing.

so would this be the process of making a 231amc (21 spline) become a 231j (23 spline) to work with a AX-15 ?
V good video I want buy same shift let me know please we're can I buy it please 🙏
What about NP 242 transfer case? Do u know where I could get a kit for it?
Is that 4 wheel drive high or low its supposed to be in??????🤔

What do u mean by pins ?
Great video, thanx, Thumbs up on it, but next time please kill the music.
Ok I am trying to remove the front yoke but it keeps moving on me. I put it in 4W low prior to removing the case. What am I doing wrong?
Foof50 I used a 3lb sledge hammer head to stop the yoke from spinning against the transfer case casing. However something wood would be the better option as it's softer than the aluminum casing.
That piece that has to be no more than an inch mine seems to be an inch and a half. how to I shorten it?
Michael Padgett If you have a dremel or die grinder I'd use that. Angle grinder would work too.
Michael Padgett a hacksaw lol
Angle grinder with a cutting wheel
Super program
No mine had no needle roller bearings in have a 2005 tj wrangler
Yeay, WAY too clean! But very informative. Thank You!
great vid
look for a set that doesn't go to pins on the ends
Needed more ads and RTV.
thank you
Thank for the video!! Next time no music..can't hear you talk..
What is with the music????? I do not get it???
Great ! really enjoyed it. Next time put a different video to the music as watching somebody fixing shit really put me off my air guitar !
great video thanks!

a fucking wood chisel???
Horrible, distracting, LOUD music. Ugh. Makes video virtually unwatchable.
Here is how it comes apart after we took it apart. Garbage.
Good Lord. I have to mute the video. UNWATCHABLE with music playing.
The theme with these how to videos is they must put crappy music for no reason whatsoever.
