2WD AW4 extension housing bushing replacement


Recommended Posts

I pulled the tail shaft housing and brought it and a new bushing & seal to a local machine shop. They removed the old one then pressed in a new one for $10 while I waited. There are two possible sizes for 91, the change year; 35mm and 38mm. Be sure you get the right one (mic the yoke shaft), or just buy both as they're only about $2.50/ea.

It's not difficult at all, just have some tranny fluid available as some will leak out when pulling the extension housing off. You can take it to a shop and have them press it in for you or do it yourself in the driveway with a piece of wood and hammer. They make a special tool for pulling them out easier than using a screwdriver. Only thing inside it is a couple of oiling lines to help move the tranny fluid around where it needs to be. Then when putting it back together have some RTV or a can of great stuff gasket maker.
