So I'm finishing up a rebuild, and just put the drivetrain back in. And now I've stripped a stud on the front half of the transfer case! (Where the front driveline bolts on). I got that terrible sinking feeling when one stud just would not get snug. I was using a torque wrench and was tightening to the 54 ft/lbs spec.
This is on a 1996 LX450.
I'm hoping there's a way to change the stud out in place, but cant see how there is room to get a new one in from behind. The thought of dropping the t-case again is friggin awful. Is there a way, or am I dropping it?
