I messed up big time
I am in the process of rebuilding my NP205 transfer case. I was so excited today cause my seal kit came in and I will finally be able to get this beast on the road again. I guess I was in a rush during assembly and forgot to install the shims on the Idler shaft ( I was just about done with assembly too)
 The Idler shaft was a pain to get in (a vary tight fit) and upon removal I mushroomed out the threads.   I called around and I cant find one anywhere. I am seriously pissed! I am going to get out of the garage and drown my sorrows

Re: I messed up big time
Brad, where are you located in Hampton Roads? I am in Chesapeake/Great Bridge & might be able to help you by repairing that shaft.

Re: I messed up big time
Im in Hampton Fox Hill area. It is great to see someone else in my area. Any help would be aperciated. I was thinking of taking it to work tomorrow and talking to some of the machine shop guys and seeing if maybe for a 12 pack they could find a way to fix it.
Its mushroomed pretty good and the threads are all bunched up. I did a real number on it. Heres some pics, tell me what you think.

Re: I messed up big time
If you have access to a good machine shop, that's what I would do. That's what I had thought about doing for you. A good machinist can repair that very easy. If you can't get it done, let me know. I'll see what I can do.

Re: I messed up big time
Botie is right. I used to work for a machine shop, and was parked at the thread rolling machines and bridgeport mills, so I know a good machinist can re-roll those threads.

Re: I messed up big time
I took it to the machine shop and the guys were more than willing to help out for some red bull
 They ended up cutting down the mushrrom on the threads and cutting new threads on the lathe. They did not have a die that size I guess it isnt a real common one on aircraft 7/8 X 20. It all looked prett good but the nut still would not thread on. Oh well Driveline.com called me back and found a good used one for $23 so I had them ship that out to me. Bowtie Thanks for offering to help thats why I love this site. Do you have a shop or somthing? Also do you know of any cruises or meets or anyting in our area?
