Interesting, I didn’t have to do anything for my removal except for leaving the transmissions low at around 2 in and supported on a jack stand. Then used the small HF transmission lift to support the tcase. Proceeded then to knock it with the mallet and 2x4 to loosen and wriggle things free. First time was toughest to remove. It was easier the second time.
I am in Jackson
Did you have your transmission at the normal height when you removed the TC?
I am in Memphis and working this weekend. I was hoping you were a little closer. Have you tried a bass drift or hammer to try and separate them?
No, I had lowered it about 2in.
Be careful with brass though as it is still harder than aluminum and can gouge it - but definitely better than steel
My only concern would be the wedge breaking off and now you have to fish it out
When replacing the oil seal on the transmission output shaft, is it correct to assume that I should remove the five bolts shown in this picture and then remove the entire retainer containing the oil seal from the output shaft?Also, do you know the tightening torque (for the five bolts) when reattaching the retainer to the transmission after installing a new oil seal?
I was planning on removing those five bolts because I’m doing the same thing. I’m not sure what the torque spec is. Hopefully someone can answer that.
Were you able to detach the transfer case from the transmission? I'm planning to do a similar job in two weeks, so I'm rooting for you to successfully complete the work you're currently doing. Good luck!
