am i just oblivious?

[clemson55]

Ok maybe I am just oblivious to the obvious on this one but the hanes manual sure isnt helping worth a damn and I dont see anything. I am trying to disconnect the tranny and tcase and it says that you just remove 5 bolts and it should slide off. So I looked at the pattern on the extra tranny and its 4 bolts in a square and then one in the bottom middle. Well I only see 3 can somebody tell me where the other 2 are? Do you have to open the panel on the side of the tcase or something? Thanks

yes, inside.

this is Woody's 465 adapter but you can see the stock locations where the studs are.

Yeah take off the side inspection cover on the left in the picture. Look inside and you will see the remaining bolt(s).

Thanks thats where I figured they must be but I figured asking people with more knowledge then myself would be better then ripping stuff up.

If your tranny is still attached to the vehicle I'd suggest using two metric bolts to rest the t-case on during your re- install. This way you wil not hash the tranny to t-case seal that many people damage during install. Dut off the head of the bolt and saw a kerf in the bolt so you can remove later with a screw driver after the lower bolts are in place.
* spring side of the seal goes inward toward t-case
* permatex "right stuff" applied using a paer gasket will insure a leak free connection.

I missed the inner bolts the first time I did one as well.

Cheers

Even with 5 bolts off, you may need a puller to get the bearing off the output. The FSM shows this well.

It's a pain to get the tcase off of the tranny. A puller is a great idea. Ige and Shawn made on when working on mine.

Homebrew puller

How can you make one of those pullers and how does it work because I am stuck just like was said. It really pisses me off to read the manual which say "the transfer case should slide out easily" I swear that guy needs his ass kicked.

 

[Quazii]

I had the same problem and thought the same thing about the ass kicking. I solved it by making some wood wedges and tapping them in between the tranny and transfer. It took a little bit but it worked! BTW don't hit the transfer with the hammer. It won't like it

Ok so im gonna try and redirect the topping here How do I make one of those pullers and How does it work. Because it has become obvious to me that I need one now. Or does anybody just want to hook me up with one they used and dont need now. Because at this point I'm about to just start smashing things.
