Important: When servicing the transfer case, use only hand tools when removing the fill or drain plugs.
Important: If the drain or fill plugs are damaged and need to be replaced, use only replacement plugs that are made from aluminum.
Important: When draining the transfer case fluid, always use an approved container for draining.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
