To do this, the crumpled wire sections (hereinafter referred to as gauges) should be installed in the bearing seats as shown in Figure M2 4.078.

After this, you need to install the intermediate shaft with bearings and tighten the screws securing the front cover of the transfer case to a torque of 35±6 Nm.
After tightening the mounting screws, you need to remove the intermediate shaft and measure the thickness of the crushed gauges.
Note: If the gauges are not crushed, use gauges of a larger diameter (diameter: 1.6 mm, length: about 10 mm) and repeat the measurements.

Based on the measurement results, adjusting washers should be selected. To do this, subtract 0 mm to 0.15 mm from the value of the thickness of the crumpled gauge, and select a washer with the thickness closest to the calculated value. The normal gap after the correct selection of the adjusting washer should be within the range of 0 mm to 0.15 mm.
