Transfer box removal

[carlos-1975]

Ok I tried the bolt in the shaft method and it dosent want to come out is there another way to split the transfer box from the gearbox please help I am knackered

[GalantOnly]

Bolts another way round... But the bolt in the shaft is the easiest way... Just use a BIG hammer to get it out /yes

[carlos-1975]

I have killed the jack

[GalantOnly]

That's bad news.../yes
Sliding hammer then...

I had the pleasure of removing the transfer case and then the trannie from under my brother's VR4 in 30deg c heat.....dumb I know.....even dumber it was only on jack stands. I am a big guy and so there was not much room under there. A slide hammer is the best way and the left shaft should be out to get clearance to avoid damaging the seals. I really did not realise the trannie was so heavy.

deffinately a 2 normal person lift.

althought when i was 15 years yonger i would have had no problem lifting on my own. but a couple of back problems and it all goes to pot and lifting a tea spoon can put my back out these days.
