It's not that bad of a hassle to remove the t-case. You have to split the t-case and remove the inners because there are a few bolts either 4 or 5 depending on what model year that bolt the t-case to the transmission. The best advice is to go by the FSM it is right on on removeing the t-case. Now would definitely be the time to order a t-case rebuild kit as you will have to replace some gaskets. Just personal opinion but if you can remove the tranny and t-case from the engine and set it up right as in the input shaft facing the ground with the tranny on blocks and the t-case sitting up in the air. This way is easier becuase you don't have to worry about dropping and loosing parts as easily. Any more questions just ask.

This thread has some more information about remove the split t-case and a link to a downloadable FSM, which will help a bunch if you don't have a paper one.
