The pics below are from the tranny and t-case from my '82 BJ42... with 4 spd. tranny.... I want to separate the t-case and tranny just for cleanup and paint... Can anyone tell me if I can separate this t-case without having to crack the case open to get at bolts holding it to the transmission? I assume I need to remove the big staked nut on the tranny output shaft, then take the bolts out that seem to be holding the t-case to the tranny, and hopefully it'll separate...Don't really want to do it if I have to split apart the t-case shell to get at bolts on the inside...
