T/C Oil Pump Spring

[Aussiecowboy]

Hi all,

I investigated the worn out input bearing on my transfer case today, the bearing is damaged due to lack of lubrication. I pulled the t/c oil pump and found it non functional due to a damaged spring. Can someone tell me the correct free length of the spring so I can source another one.

Cheers

If you look in the parts manual and get the NSN, that might help. You can then search for another spring online and see if somebody has one.

I'm in Australia so the NSN isn't all that helpful, and postage on one spring would be prohibitive. I'm sure I can get a spring locally, I just need to know the correct length.

Problem solved, I re-assembled the broken spring on a piece of steel rod and took a "best guess" measurement, bought a spring and cut to length, pump now works.

Ingenuity and progress... One motor pool goat underway.

A long way from being underway sadly, hub and bearing seals are proving to be a major stumbling point.
