It appears to have different bearings then my 91 case did and I stuck my finger in both fill and drain plugs it felt completely different!

While I understand what you are saying, since we discussed it before....

THAT SOUNDS WEIRD, Maybe dirty..

As I typed it I knew it sounded weird but I thought you would catch on.

Going to start on the tcase here soon. Does anyone know what size the bolts are for the case to bolt to the adapter?

Ttt, who knows?

 

[Babaganoosh]

Pulled the case apart tonight, looks to be in good shape. Anyone know the spec on the chain? Is their a way to accurately measure the chain?

Looks like a chain. Run it

 

[Truckman4life]

Run it til you can hear it slapping the inside of the case when driving. Then replace with heavy duty one.

Looks better than the few I’ve had apart and put back together

It actually does look good, just the outside needs a good scrub.

My batteries died.

This is what I know... if you take the chain and with your fingers about 3 inches apart squeeze the chain together anything over 1/8th of an inch is worn out.
A new chain will have no play. Not precise but a guide. Use your own descresion.

Even with the case half split? The main shaft does move some so it tossed it off.

Sure you only need 3” of chain to check with.

Hey now let's not exaggerate it...

 

[jekquistk5]

You should have just cleaned it and slapped it in. lol

It had a leak and I'm fixing it, also it needed a reseal anyway.

 

[Bent77]

You should have let Dave do it

Yeah could have but he has his hands full with his own project. That and I enjoy working on it.
