TRANSFER CASE DISASSEMBLY
1. Preliminary steps:
1a. Clean-up and visually examine the transfer
case for wear and damage that may make
it unfeasible to repair.
1b. Unless there is a specific reason to
remove the mounting brackets, they are
best left in place.
1c. If the gear lube was not previously
drained, remove the drain plug using a
13mm wrench and allow the fluid to drain
into a clean pan. See Figure 2.68.

1d. Remove the fill plug from the side of the
transfer case using a 5/8" wrench. This
will let air enter the case faster, speeding
the draining process. See Figure 2.69.
