Ford AA5Z-7005-A Converter Housing Assembly

2015 and later four-cylinder engines and alt V6 engines are offered with optional All Wheel Drive (AWD), with the transfer case sending power to the rear differential and rear drive axles. Begin by removing the wheel cover or hub cap, then break the hub nut loose with a socket and large breaker bar, followed by loosening the wheel lug nuts. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jack stands before removing the right wheel. Unbolt the front portion of the driveshaft and suspend it from a piece of wire, ensuring it does not hang from the center support bearing. For 2015 and later four-cylinder models, remove the Charge Air Cooler (CAC) tube from under the engine, disconnect the electrical connector from the transfer case cooling fan, and then remove the mounting bolt and the fan. For 2015 and later V6 models and 2019 models with an oil cooler, drain the cooling system and disconnect the hoses from the transfer case cooler. Remove the right drive axle and intermediate shaft, as well as the right-side catalytic converter. Next, remove the roll-restrictor mount fasteners and mount, followed by the two bolts securing the transfer case to the support bracket and the three bolts securing the transfer case support bracket to the engine. Support the transfer case with a suitable jack, then work on the right side to remove the three transfer case-to-transaxle mounting bolts, followed by the final two mounting bolts on the left side. To remove the transfer case from the vehicle, rock it until it comes free of the transaxle. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring to install a new compression seal to the case, tighten the exhaust system fasteners and NEW driveshaft fasteners to the specified torque, and refill the transfer case with the proper type and amount of fluid. Finally, tighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque and fill the cooling system for 2015 and later V6 models.

Lift the front of your car with jackstands, undo three nuts from the right front wheel, and put the car's weight on the stands. A helper should apply pressure to the brake pedal while you unscrew just the right hub nut connecting the axle and hub. Pull off all necessary parts around the right hub - take out the right wheel, engine shield, and any splash guards. Before removing, mark where the driveshaft and output shaft meet. Use your hands to undo the front of the driveshaft and loop it up with wire from a firm central support point to keep it from dropping. Take out the right driveaxle, the intermediate shaft, and the right-side catalytic converter, when needed. Before moving on, generate a transfer case replacement calculations list. First remove both fasteners that hold the roll-restrictor mount. Next, undo each of the two bolts that secure the transfer case to its support bracket. Then, take off the three bolts that anchor the support bracket directly to the engine block. Carefully lift the transfer case with a floor jack. On the right side, take out each of the three bolts holding it to the transaxle. When done, repeat this on the left side using two remaining mounting bolts. You can take out the transfer case from your car by moving its output flange up, turning it while yanking it out of the transaxle. Do the opposite of what you did to take it out. Make sure you get a fresh seal to go inside the transfer case before installing. Also tighten the new driveshaft and transfer case bolts to their correct torques, fill the transfer case with the proper lubricant, and tighten the wheel nuts to the correct torque.
