Got it in with original bolt! This is a guess but I dont think anyone has ever taught my jeep to wash in dark crevises or behind his ears. I got about a golf ball size mound of dirt rocks and sand out of the top of the nut area... cleaned the heck out of it with WD-40 and an old toothbrush; the bolt turned in by hand.

Is it okay to use the same bottle pump you used for the trans to do the t case?

Very simple!

I bought a new torque wrench and tested the torque on the bolts before I removed them: 48 ft.lbs. for the skid plate, 15 ft.lbs. for the fill and drain plug on my 2013 Wrangler Unlimited Moab (the same as the torque in the link posted in the comments). I bought a marine gear oil pump from Walmart (looks similar to the example) and it worked fantastic. Thanks so much for the instructions!

Cheers! :beer:

That came out of your transfer case drain hole? Not normal. I've seen small pieces of rtv come out, but nothing like that before.

Thanks for the write-up, Eddie. We just did ours. I would have been stubborn and not removed the skid plate had I not seen this write-up. I doubt it would have gone as smooth and pulling the skid plate only took about 30 seconds. :thumb:

Nice write-up... thanks.

Rather than wrestling the transmission skid plate by myself, I only removed the two rear bolts and the left front bolt. After loosening the right front bolt, I was able to spin it to the right and out of the way. When I was done, all I had to do was spin it back into place and replace the bolts. Much easier.

Thanks again.

I'm sure this was never done on mine before I got it, so this came in handy. DONE! Thanks Eddie!

Just finished changing mine. It was so easy thanks to these instructions. Can't believe my dealer wanted $120 to do it.

I used my jack to told up the skid plate while I put the the bolts back in. Made it much easier

It's a vibration dampener. Some of the early NV241-OR's came with them. Glad my write-up was helpful to you. :cool:
