Ok I nee to get them off and apart first.
Just to confirm you recon that that they must be locked before removal?? Surely you are right and if not working there is no option.
I get the pont about locking them before reassembly. Well made by you.

When in the locked position there is less "play" in the gears. So when you reassemble it's in the exact right spot. If it's unlocked, then there's a bit of play in the gears and it's more difficult to get it lined up perfectly.
Either way, ensure the cdl motor and the transfer case are in the same state during reassembly.
My suggestion, if you can't lock it currently, is take it apart unlocked ... Fix it... Then when you put it back in, do the whole "tire kick while manually moving xfer case gear with your finger trick" to get the truck in locked position, then plug the cdl motor in electronically, and with it just hanging off the wires trigger cdl on with the dash button (truck on ign, not running) to get the locker motor locked as well. Then put it together. Good luck!
