Weights Needed

[flint54]

For AX15 transmission and for NP231 transfer case.

 

Going to pull them, would like to pull them together.

 

Anyone know these numbers?

 

Thanks!

Handled a number of transfer cases. Guessing about 50 pounds or so, possibly less. Don't know about the AX15. only had one vehicle with one and never had it out.

Unless you look like THIS...

 

 

...use a GOOD tranny or motorcycle jack. No need to bust a gut or kill yourself.

I look better than that, and figured one hand to place it into position and the

other hand to install the bolts. It's only aluminum for cryin' out loud.

The case is aluminum, and it's pretty thick... the insides are not aluminum...

And the answer to my own question is:

 

AX15 (with bell housing and clutch components) = 104 lb

NP231 = 63 lb

NP242 = 78 lb

 

Separating the 231 from the AX15 in place was loads of fun, but

handling them wasn't too bad.

 

Nutserts have their own special place in hell. Had to cut the heads off

of the T case bash plate center bolts.
