This looks a bit better. Just need to touch up paint chips.

Re: GPW 51368 1942 Restoration in Iceland
Question: The bracket marked: "E" in this photo, is the smaller diameter hole attached with a pin or a bolt?
I cant find info on this. Transfer cases I have taken apart mostly have bolts, but suspect that this is supposed
to move?

And another question: I used a NOS GPW thermostat housing. Used repro sleeve inside. I see it sticks out ca 2mm.
Is this designed like this or should it be flush? I had another repro sleeve, same issue.

I had the same issue with the sleeve and looking it up on here, it is normal for it to stick out slightly, I had no issues with it too.

I believe a clevis pin holds part "E" ( Link A-1005) to the rear bearing cap as can be seen in this photo. Note that part "E" is held to the rear bearing cap right where the script "F" and the GPW part number can be seen on the case:

Shaft ready for assembly. NOS cork seals used:
I know some guys have had problems installing the cork seals. Trick is to soak them
in hot water before slipping them on:
Then use a paper towel to get some of the water out, once seal is on:

Hinrik:
I used the original grease zerks after I established that they were working properly and upon assembly of the yoke and shaft, I pre-greased the yoke til grease came out the hole in the end of the yoke onto a paper towel I placed between it and the U-joints. That way I KNOW there is a full cavity of grease! The thing is, you have to compress the yoke to get the U-joints seated and then expand the yoke/shaft assembly to seat the u-joints. The paper towel keeps it all clean and is removed after the prop shaft is mounted for and aft. I attach the Yoke end LAST to monitor the towel and excess grease.
When properly assembled the grease zerk on the yoke and on both U-joints can be serviced without moving the jeep...they are aligned properly!
PS...the u-joints must be installed so that the zerks point to the middle of the prop shaft and away from the T-case and axel!
Nice work by the way!
