I drained the oil in my transfer case and when I was tightening the drain plug with my torque wrench set at 27 ft / lbs it seemed like my torque wrench should have clicked already so I backed the bolt out and it looks like my torque wrench failed(never clicked) and I over tightened the drain bolt and cracked the transfer case!!!
Anyone know if there is anything I can do other than have it towed to a mechanic who can replace the cracked part of my transfer case? If towing it to a mechanic is my only option, does anyone have a ballpark how much it will cost to fix and can you recommend a mechanic in east mesa.
Any idea why my torque wrench wouldn't have clicked, could I have done something wrong?
I'll attach some photos showing the damage.
