Book Excerpt: 2001-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Repair Manual TRANSFER CASE

TRANSFER CASE REAR OUTPUT SHAFT OIL SEAL | REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

1. Raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands.
2. Drain the transfer case lubricant (see Chapter 1).
3. Remove the driveshaft (see Chapter 8).
4. Mark the relative positions of the pinion, nut and flange.
5. Use a beam- or dial-type inch-pound torque wrench to determine the torque required to rotate the pinion. Record it for use later.
6. Count the number of threads visible between the end of the nut and the end of the pinion shaft and record it for use later.
7. Remove the flange mounting nut, using a chain wrench to hold the pinion flange while loosening the locknut.
8. Remove the companion flange; a small puller may be required for removal.
9. Pry out the seal with a screwdriver or a seal removal tool. Don't damage the seal bore.
10. Lubricate the lips of the new seal with multi-purpose grease and tap it evenly into position with a seal installation tool or a large socket. Make sure it enters the housing squarely and is tapped into its full depth.
11. Align the mating marks made before disassembly and install the companion flange. If necessary, tighten the pinion nut to draw the flange into place.
12. Tighten the nut carefully until the original number of threads are exposed and the marks are aligned.
13. Measure the torque required to rotate the pinion and tighten the nut in small increments until it matches the figure recorded in Step 5.
14. Connect the driveshaft, and then add the specified lubricant to the transfer case (see Chapter 1).

SUSPENSION AND STEERING SYSTEMS

BALLJOINTS | REPLACEMENT

1. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel.
2. Refer to Section 5 and remove the lower control arm from the vehicle.
3. Remove the rubber boot from the balljoint.
4. Use snap-ring pliers to remove the snapring from the balljoint.
5. Support the bottom of the control arm and separate the balljoint from the control arm by striking the stud with a plastic-face hammer.
6. The new balljoint can be installed by using a large socket that fits around the outer rim of the balljoint and a hammer. A hydraulic press can also be used by a repair shop to press the new balljoint into place.
7. Installation is the reverse of removal.
