MY1PATH Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) ok so I'm re-building a spare t-case(thakyou doughboy) to swap in cause my current one is leaking. Reserector made a great how-to on changing the chain on N4W. My current chain has about .25" of slack in it if I push on it between the 2 gears. my question is how snug should the chain fit? I would hate to spend $300+ on a chain that is going to fit the same way when I'm done. I can provide pictures tomorrow if need be.

MY1PATH Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) Basically, without the rear case in place, the output shaft is free to move around a bit. This gives the illusion that the chain is loose. I had a hard time getting my back cover on, because it was hard to align the shafts with the new chain fitting so tightly. Just put it back together, and you will see what I mean. Be sure to get the plastic pieces set in properly according to the How-To. They are easy to ruin. ah, that makes sense, when I first pulled the case open the rear half pulled the fwd shaft back some and it had .5" slack, when I pressed it back in it went down to .25" Thanks! Now all I need is seals and I'll be ready to put it all back together. Edited March 22, 2009 by MY1PATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
