I finished assembly. It went pretty smooth except that the case is aluminum and bolt holes are stressed from years of stress or whatever. I chased all the holes. I came out unscathed except for one bolt hole. One mounting hole on back side of the spur case could not handle the big 34 ft lbs and supn. Oh well, I'll hit it with some JB weld later on an drill and tap it again, no biggie. Also, the Pierce seal and gasket kit for $25 was a bust. I had to make all big gaskets myself because theirs did not match up, so all I got out of the kit was two seals and three small gaskets, rip off!
Also, I took some time to take the brushes out of the old 10 spline motor and reassembled it... and it works now. Great, it's no good to me now. But, I'm kinda glad it went on the blink because now I know how costly they are to replace.
Filled case and transfer capacities and let it set a few hours with no leaks, bench tested and installed. Now I need to get a fairlead and cut a hole in the bumper.
