Continuing Assembly on the Right-Side
Next, install the transfer gear case cover (the 'skinny case cover', as shown in the photo above), if it was removed. To do this, perform the following:
Note: If the transfer case was not disassembled, you will only need to install the bolts marked with red arrows, above. The chrome thumb-nut goes onto the stud in the center of the case. Torque all the transfer case engine bolts and the chrome-nut as a unit now. The bolts marked in yellow are torqued to 7.2 ft-lbs. The ones marked in red are torqued to 22 ft-lbs. Tip: Pay special attention to the gasket. There is a long section on the right side of it that is unsupported. Mine sagged a little, misaligned slightly, and leaked. I had to hold the gasket, from inside the skinny case, with my fingers, to keep it in place while bolting on the skinny case. See photo below. Take picts.
