Split the Case Halves
1. Remove the capscrews securing the rear cover to the front
case.
CAUTION
When using a pry bar, be careful not to damage the carrier or
housing flange. Damage to these surfaces will cause oil leaks.
2. Use a pry bar to separate the two halves of the transfer case
at the pry tab locations around the case.
3. Place eyebolts into the rear cover lift holes located at the top
and bottom of the cover.
DANGER
Follow all safety guidelines and instructions provided by the lifting
device manufacturer. Check that the lift capacity marked on the
lifting device, straps and chains is correct for the weight being
lifted. If they are not marked with the lift capacity, do not use
them. Inspect lifting straps to ensure they are not damaged.
NEVER subject lifting straps to shocks or drop-loading. Failure to
follow these directives can result in death or serious personal
injury and damage to components.
CAUTION
As the rear cover is lifted, apply DOWNWARD pressure on the
shift rod to prevent the gears from dropping out of the rear
transfer case half.
4. Attach a suitable lifting device to the eyebolts. Lift the rear
cover from the front case. Figure 5.21.
