★ These loose needle bearings replaced the earlier caged version from 1953 onwards. The larger shaft diameter and increased number of bearings significantly improved the bearing surface and reliability of the transfer case.
Application
Suitable for vehicles with Dana 18 transfer case and 1-1/4 inch intermediate shaft. This concerns the late version from 1953 onwards, introduced during the transition to improved transfer case specifications.
Installation notes
The transfer case must be completely disassembled to access the intermediate shaft. Remove the intermediate gear, two thrust washers and spacers through the bottom of the case. The 48 needle bearings are placed loosely around the intermediate shaft during assembly. Ensure correct alignment of spacers and thrust washers.
Compatibility
WARNING: this product is ONLY suitable for Dana 18 transfer cases with 1-1/4 inch (31.75mm) intermediate shaft (late version from approx. 1953). Not compatible with 1-1/8 inch shaft (1946-1953, caged bearings) or 3/4 inch shaft (1941-1946, early MB/GPW). Measure shaft diameter before ordering.
Historical context
In 1953-1955, Dana improved the Model 18 transfer case by enlarging the intermediate shaft from 1-1/8 to 1-1/4 inch. This modification significantly increased the bearing surface and number of needle bearings, improving durability under heavy off-road use.
