Golly there is supposed to be a keyed flat washer followed by a foldie
down keyed flat washer followed by a special nut with a bunch of notches.
You take the special tool (You can rent one from Rovers North or buy one
from British Pacific) and torque the special nut down to 95 foot pounds
pressure then crimp the foldie down keyed washer down into the nut's
notches to keep this nut firmly in place.
At 95 foot pounds the output gear is not going to wobble and with the nut
locked down the gear will not go off visiting.
Of course I do have one problem with the story that someone told about
the output gear falling off onto the bottom of the transfer case. There
is a rear plate with a bearing that supports the rear of the shaft. All
the output gear can do is wonder around on the shaft. If it can fall
down the gear is the least of your problems.
