2 - OUTPUT SHAFT BEARING
Install the retaining ring (1). See Fig 2. Ensure that the retaining ring is seated correctly in the groove.
Check that there is no play between the bearing and the retaining ring using feeler gauge.
There must be no play between the retaining ring and the bearing. If the ring cannot be installed, a thinner ring must be used. If there is play between the ring and the bearing, a thicker ring must be installed. Retaining rings are available in thicknesses of 2.0 mm (0.079 in.), 2.1 mm (0.083 in.), and 2.2 mm (0.087 in.).

For 4WD transmissions:
- Install the output shaft extension onto the output shaft.
- Install the nut to hold the output shaft extension to the output shaft. Torque the bolt to 200 N.m (148 ft.lbs.).
- Install the transfer case adapter housing onto the transmission case.
- Install the bolts to hold the transfer case adapter housing onto the transmission case. Torque the bolt to 20 N.m (177 in.lbs.).
- Install the transfer case:
  For NV140, (Refer to TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/TRANSFER CASE - INSTALLATION) .
  
  For NV245, (Refer to TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/TRANSFER CASE - INSTALLATION) .

For 2WD transmissions, install the propeller shaft flange onto the output shaft and install an new flange nut. Tighten the flange nut, with a 30 mm 12 point socket, to 200 N.m (148 ft.lbs.).
