Oil Pump Cleaning and Inspection (1) — figure 1
  1. Clean all components in cleaning solvent and air dry.
  2. Inspect the transfer case oil pump assembly (1). Replace the oil pump assembly if end play is evident or if there is any sign of binding. End play can be measured by inserting a feeler gauge (3) between the outer rotor and housing. If the end play is greater than 0.1 mm (0.004 in), replace the oil pump assembly. Do not disassemble the oil pump, it is serviced as an assembly.
  3. Inspect the transfer case oil pump suction pipe (2). Replace the oil pump suction pipe if the screen is embedded with debris.
