Once rtv is applied both pieces need to be put together right away ( rtv instructions) then finger tight bolts until rtv is slightly squeezing out. Let set 1 hr, then torque to spec. Following rtv instructions really works 100%. God bless and enjoy.

Just found this video, excellent! Well laid out and explained! Great job!

great video! concise, precise, clear ... !!!

awesome, I finally find the official AA video, great job, planning on doing my install today and this helped a lot. might want to put jeep in the title though, it was difficult to find this

install went great! very superior product

Best video I've ever seen..

Very good video! Some time i planning to do this for my YJ!

Excellent, Thanks for sharing.

Great vid... Turn the speedo sensor to another position and while transfer case turns freely ajust it also make sure sensor seated well ..u can feel the senson tick when engaged

I like how the video shows removing all the other snap rings except that heavy duty one. That thing was a pain in the butt to get off the original shaft and 10 times worse to get on the new shaft

great vid

Yes, the large spring is on the rail and gets compressed when the rear of the case is bolt back on. However there is one other one that also comes to mind. We can email you a picture if you need it. send us a PM for email info since posting it to the video comments is prohibited.

thank you

Super program

What kind of lock ring pliers are being used at 5:50 in the video? I'm having a hard time finding anything local that opens large enough.

Yeay, WAY too clean! But very informative. Thank You!

Did your installation require the step of pressing out the needle bearing cages? If so the lubrication system on those shafts are different than the style that we build. This will not effect the performance or have any adverse effects on the lubrication properties of your transfer case.

Is there a reason you left the oil pump off when you first put the case back together? Why not leave them connected so you don’t have to use that little pick to attach the two?

great video thanks!

Is there a video you can recommend that’ll show you how to press the bearing out so I can fit it on the shaft? I have the old style 231..

Great video, thanx, Thumbs up on it, but next time please kill the music.

When I opened up my case there was one spring sitting at the bottom of the case and one was on the shift rod. I'm assuming that the second spring probably fell off the rear of the shift rod when I was disassembling. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Had a shop do my SYE. Drove 467 miles in one month and now it is stuck in 4 Hi. Tried driving slowly forwards and backwards while shifting into 2 Hi with no change. Disconnected the linkage and tried shifting the transfer case manually. No change, still in 4 Hi. Question: If the snap ring holding the gear in place on the shaft is not correctly installed, will the gear move out of position and cause the transfer case to be stuck in 4 Hi? The linkage is not the problem.

Is this the same process for a '91 NP231J?

so would this be the process of making a 231amc (21 spline) become a 231j (23 spline) to work with a AX-15 ?

Where do you buy the star seal, no one at the auto parts knows what I’m talking about? I’m also having bearing noise from the cage bearing, chanted the fluid, just keeps squawking at low speeds, goes swat after driving it for awhile… also if the transfer case is in nuetral I try spinning that rear yoke, I have to spin it and it doesn’t spin freely, like the bearings are shot

You said to leave the cover off for an hour to cure .i would put cover on so it stick but don't tighten until cure

Where can you get that bench top yoke holder???

what happens if u remove the two snap rings and the tail housing don't come off

What about NP 242 transfer case? Do u know where I could get a kit for it?

hi i installed my kit today and i have a concern with the new shaft i fitted all seems fine for now after driving it today .. but the old shaft had a oil feed hole to supply oil to the gears that where swaped over and the new shaft does not have a oil feed hole for this point it has other hole where the planitary splines are if anyone could let me knoe if this is normal of if i am gioing to soon have a permenat 4wd due to gear running dry on shaft and sezing ?? thanks

Will red or clear RTV work the same?? That’s all I have on hand..

What happens if the slide hub thing gets installed backwards?Mine keeps popping out of 4 low and I’ve checked everything

What do u mean by pins ?

On the off chance. I am installing Advance Adaptors SYE arrives from Rusty's tomorrow. Started disassembly however my snap ring pliers are (expensive) shite! What brand is being used here? can be seen at 01:30. They look decent. Are they? Thanks

4wheel drive high or low position

Great ! really enjoyed it. Next time put a different video to the music as watching somebody fixing shit really put me off my air guitar !

No mine had no needle roller bearings in have a 2005 tj wrangler

Thank for the video!! Next time no music..can't hear you talk..

Ok I am trying to remove the front yoke but it keeps moving on me. I put it in 4W low prior to removing the case. What am I doing wrong?

Needed more ads and RTV.

Is that 4 wheel drive high or low its supposed to be in??????🤔

look for a set that doesn't go to pins on the ends

That piece that has to be no more than an inch mine seems to be an inch and a half. how to I shorten it?

What is with the music????? I do not get it???

Much easier to just disassemble the oil pump and realign and stick the tube in. It’s how they did it at the factory and trying to do it with a little stick is some nonsense

a fucking wood chisel???

Here is how it comes apart after we took it apart. Garbage.

Good Lord. I have to mute the video. UNWATCHABLE with music playing.

The theme with these how to videos is they must put crappy music for no reason whatsoever.

Horrible, distracting, LOUD music. Ugh. Makes video virtually unwatchable.
