• Seal wear from age, heat, and drivetrain movement

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the output shaft, sealing surface, and surrounding housing before installation. Clean the bore thoroughly and verify the shaft diameter and seal orientation match the original part. For best results, replace the seal only after confirming the transfer case is filled to the correct fluid level and there is no shaft damage or excessive wear.
