Guys,
I have ordered some 4.9 transfer case gears from the states along with a transfer case gear supplement kit.
Can anyone suggest someone to rebuild the case with the new gears for me.
Im located in SE melbourne.
Also what would it roughly cost?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew

i have a solid guy who has installed sierra gears before. Knows his shit and is cheap. you've already spoken to me andy but if anyone else in melbs needs a contact for gears and or diff gears, lockers, general fab then let me know.

Thanks mate. Just gotta remove the transfer case now.

Dropped off my engine to start building today...

If you're handy enough to get the transfer out you might find you're right to do it yourself. I did my 4.9s with just a socket set and a cheap supercheap press.

Won;t be trying it by myself...I know my limits. Don't you need to shim?

Rather pay someone to do it, and not have to worry when up in the bush...as much!

not 100% since ive never done anything like this myself, but pretty sure u only need to shim when installing the 6.5's... 4.9's is fine AFAIK...

Std's have shim's & if changing bearing's thay may need to be set again..

No worries. I understand that logic all too well. Unfortunately I can turn off the worry part until I'm stuck in the bush.
