Installed a used SYE. My TC output doesn't have threaded holes, but my CV does.

XJ Ask the Question Thread-forumrunner_20150115_175604.png

I'm thinking flange bolts through the TC output, into the CV threads. Is that a problem?

You'll need to elaborate a bit on the "two power sockets"... the lighter and original sockets are the same, just on different circuits (one switched and one on the battery)
First pic is of the power socket. It is mounted on a raised lip (about 1/8") sticking out from the front of the panel. Second pic is the cigarette lighter, I realize they function the same but they are indeed different. It's mounted in a recessed circle on the panel. Third pic is the whole panel, lighter has the white connector, socket black. You can see how much longer the lighter housing is than the power socket.

Regardless, still can't seem to figure out how to remove them. It seems like there's some little square holes in the metal body that lock onto some plastic tabs, but I don't see any way to release them?

(Update: Hardware store didn't have 5/16x24 flange bolts)
Is this the right way to do this? Nothing else comes to mind. (I need to swap the ujoint before I can install)

That is how my SYE is, the bolts insert through the yoke and threads into the cv driveshaft.

Cool, thanks fellas. Bought it used without hardware, and this is my first time dealing with the driveshaft aspect of an SYE install

Grade 5 bolts, and is there a torque spec?

The bolts are kind of special, odd shape and size that lets you get them installed and get some wrench on it. The dealer should still be able to get them, part number 6036-415AA, $1 each last time I bought them.

Cause I didn't have instructions lol, and because I didn't know if the aftermarket DS would have the same pitch as the OEM front. I just spent $2.22 on hardware, and my CV thread is definitely 5/16x24.

Got it. Had to gently squeeze the body of the socket to clear the square plastic tabs in the panel, then it slid out towards the front.

Plus I have ratcheting wrenches

Okay you got me, they're slightly different:
- lighter has a bit more vent
- they're mounted in different holes in the panel (can't put that handy "12V DC" on the lighter side)
- the sockets and their holes in the panel are keyed slightly differently

I already tried this swap lol it just doesn't work.

To be honest I just poked at it with a very small slot screwdriver for about 10 minutes before figuring out how to eject them. That was a year and a half ago. They're definitely designed to be assembled, not disassembled.

Is the transfer case the same as a transmission? Meaning that if you haven't changed the fluid frequently on a high mileage tranny then you shouldn't change it at all? Just a thought since I have to fill my tcase up tomorrow anyway and it uses the same oil.
