Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transfer case model, vehicle year, and position before ordering, since this seal is used across multiple New Process units and positions including N/A, Rear, and Rear Inner. Match the bore diameter, outside diameter, and seal width to the original part specification before installation. Clean the housing and sealing surface thoroughly, and inspect the pump housing for scoring or distortion that could affect sealing performance.
