Guys,

Is there a torque spec or installation method that the nuts need to be installed to when re-installing the yokes on my transfer case? I removed all three to replace the leaky seals. They all take a cotter pin which leads me to believe it is more like setting the lash on a wheel bearing. I couldn't find a procedure just for the transfer case. Any help is MUCH appreciated.

Guys,
I've gone through my manuals and found some info on other Spicer transfer cases. 250 ft/lbs seems pretty excessive for something that has a cotter pin to keep it from coming off. Other versions but be set up with a crush sleave like some rear axles.
Anyone out there have info on the Spicer 24's?
Thanks,
Nick

 

Sorry for digging up such an old thread but did you ever find the torque spec for your DANA\Spicer 24 Yokes? I'm getting ready to do the seals on my 59 F100.

 

I just rebuilt my np205 and the yoke lock nuts required 90-130 ft lbs from the manuals I've checked

 

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind If I can't find the the spec for the 24. I did find the part number for the input\output seals: National 470898 or if someone wants to experiment with doing a double seal: Timkin 6626S is a narrow shell wheel seal that might and thats a big might really keep the dirt out and the gear oil in. Not my idea just found it on the internets.

 

Hope it helps on the 205 t case you take the backlash out of the gears by tightening the yoke nuts draws the yoke tight against the output shaft bearing and draws the gears right on the backside of the bearing so there's no in/out play. The Dana t case should be close to the same design. Is your 59 f100 an original marmon Herrington or did you or previous owner swap it to a 4x4 down the line sometime?
