Transfer Case removal/replacing

[tommys2patrick]

Absolutely Rustystud. I been working for someone else and a paycheck since I was 14 and that don't include field work for local farmers and the usual assortment of odd jobs kids had back then for "extra money". Heck I can even remember asking my dad for permission to get a job. His answer was, " yes as long as I kept up with my work at home and school". Now I choose what to work on, when, where, how long. These last few good years are mine.

Also TM 9-2520-246-34-1, page 2-114:
"1. Using chain hoist, lower transmission transfer assembly (1) into stand (2).
2. Tighten four bolts (3), two on each side, to hold transmission transfer assembly (1)
in place on stand (2). Take off chain hoist.
3. Use handle (4) to turn transmission transfer assembly (1) as needed to do procedures.
END OF TASK"

The complete case with brackets weighs approximately 498 pounds.

I built a support to go in the cab:

and used a discarded 55-gallon barrel cart to move the t-case into the garage:

The support was made of hot-rolled mild steel 3" x 1 1/2" x 3/16" channel and 2" x 3" steel rectangular tube; overall legs 37 1/2" high, feet 24" long, legs set back 5 1/2" from end of foot (on center), top tube support 36" long; I also placed 2" x 3" wood under the feet to help prevent slipping on the cab floor.

To break the front flange nuts loose, I made a bolt-on holder using the truck frame to work against and used a 3:1 gear reduction wrench:

And for the rear, I set the parking brake tight:

For tightening the nuts after the job (manual calls for 300-400 ft-lbs), I used the same method.
