Transfer Case Removal
Note: This operation can be performed with the engine/
transmission/transfer case still attached to the power 
module.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level surface. Level the
vehicle, ground the attachment, place the travel 
select lever in the (N), NEUTRAL DETENT position, 
engage the parking brake switch and shut the 
engine OFF.
2. Place an Accident Prevention Tag on both the
ignition key switch and steering wheel, stating that 
the vehicle should not be operated.Section 1.5, 
“Accident Prevention Tag Usage.” Unlock and open 
the engine compartment cover. Allow the engine, 
transmission and hydraulic fluid to cool.
3. If the vehicle has dual batteries, disconnect both
negative battery cables (1 and 2) from both 
batteries.
To access the lower battery (3), loosen the knob (4) 
far enough so that the lip (5) on the upper battery box 
clears the knob. Lift up the upper battery box (6) and 
swing it out, so that the box clears the hydraulic tank 
support bracket, to gain access to the lower negative 
battery cable (1). Disconnect the lower negative 
battery cable.
4. Refer to Section 5.4.3, “Drive Shaft Removal,”
procedures for the removal of the drive shafts from 
transfer case.
5. Prior to unbolting the transfer case, make certain
that a suitable lift/support device is in position to 
carry the 350 + lbs (159 Kg) that the transfer case 
weighs.
6. Remove the fourteen capscrews (12-rear (7) and 2
front (8)) securing the transfer case to the 
transmission.
7. With the lifting/support device in position and ready
to accept the transfer case, Carefully pull the transfer 
case away from the transmission (the case uses an 
alignment pin (9) to correctly align the case to the 
transmission). After the case has separated from the 
pin, the case will need to be pulled approx. 2-3 more 
inches from the transmission to fully disengage the 
splined output shaft (10) protruding from the 
transmission (11). Once the transfer case has 
cleared the input shaft, lower the transfer case and 
remove it from beneath the vehicle.
