12. Apply molybdenum grease to the center screw of the LRT-41-018/4 tool and assemble the tool to remove the support from the transfer case as shown in the figure.

CAUTION: Make sure the alignment indicator is in the lowest position. The position indicator is the machined flats on the LRT-41-018/1 and LRT-41-018/2 components of the fixture.

Assembly

1. Wipe all mounting and mating surfaces.

2. Lubricate the new support and the drilled hole in the transfer case housing to facilitate assembly.

3. Position the new support at the rear of the transfer case and begin installation. The support should move smoothly and the mounting marks should line up with each other.

NOTE: To facilitate alignment, duplicate the mounting mark on the side surface of the support.

4. Lubricate the middle screw of the LRT-41-018/4 with molybdenum disulfide grease and assemble the transfer case mount installer as shown in the figure. Start with the center screw fully out and when the mount is about 75% in, shorten the center screw by screwing it all the way into the LRT-41-018/1 plate. This will help prevent the LRT-41-018/4 center screw from hitting the transmission pan.

CAUTION: Make sure the alignment indicator is in its lowest position.

5. Make sure that the support is installed without distortions. If necessary, restore parallelism by hitting the base of the support with a mallet.
