Hope somebody can help so I can get to work tomorrow...
Was going to clean the contacts inside the 4x4 gearmotor on the back of the transfer case. I removed the assembly - it pried off fairly easily. Then I realized that a special torx (T-20 w/hole) is needed to get at the contacts. I decided to put it back together until I can get the torx.
Now the triangular hole in the gearmotor won't slide over the triangular shaft protruding from the transfer case. I tried turning the shaft slightly back and forth (not enough to shift it) but it still won't enter the triangular hole. Nothing was moved - I just looked at it. No power was applied to the motor.
What the heck do I have to do to get it mounted? I tried tapping gently on the back of the gear housing but it didn't help.
Can I just wire the assembly up under the vehicle and drive it like that and try again tomorrow?
Please help if you can.
Thanks.
