9h. The middle shaft is easily disassembled
using a pair of external snap ring pliers. 
See Figure 2.100.
9i. Lift the forward-neutral-reverse shift shaft,
shift yoke, spacer, and shift collar out of 
the bore that is closer to the output shaft 
bearing. See Figure 2.101.
9j. The 39-tooth reverse gear will be left rest-
ing in the right hand case, separated from 
the bearing that carries the middle shaft 
by a .030” (0.76mm) washer. 
9k. Lift-out the reverse gear and washer.
9l. The reverse idler is the last gear left in the
case, secured by a 1/2”-13 grade-8 cap 
screw and flat washer. Remove it using a 
3/4” wrench.
9m. The reverse idler contains a pair of roller
bearings that ride on a hardened tube. 
The tube passes-through a washer that 
isolates the reverse idler from the case. 
See Figure 2.103.
NOTE: If new input shaft or reverse idler that 
mates with it are installed in the transfer case, 
orientation of the gears on the shaft is unimpor-
tant. Once a wear pattern is established on the 
gear teeth, orient the gears to maintain that wear 
pattern. Mark the gear if necessary.
