Transfer case cleanup and paint, plus test fitting some shiny new Novak parts. Still waiting on a replacement intermediate gear before I can rebuild it.

A pair of cheap SM465's I picked up. I Also got a bellhousing, dana 25 knuckles and a rear axle shaft.

I was able to get the bearings out fairly easily with a $5 2 jaw puller that I modified.

Masked and ready for paint. The angle grinder had enough and something wanted out.

My counter bore bit showed up in the mail today and I had a few minutes so I started to stud the knuckles. I tried an end mill in my drill press but I couldn't keep it centered, with the pilot on the counter bore it only took a few minutes per knuckle with my drill press.

From my research, "4LR" was the prefix for a factory rebuilt L-134. I have one in my GPW.

Almost ready to rebuild the gear boxes, I just need to run a few more pieces through the parts washer.
