Cant take of X-case

[KarmirXJ]

Im trying to take of my Transfer case but with no luck. none of my tools are reaching the X-case to tranny bolts. Is there something I have to do first? Or am I missing something:confused:

the best thing i have found is a ratchiting box end wrench 9/16 to be exact. either that or use a standard box end wrench an alot of time.

A starter wrench is real handy for this.Also I have to loosen up the exhaust on mine to get it out of the way to reach a couple on the passenger side.I also lower the whole thing as much as possible to get at the top bolts.

drop the drivetrain as low as it will go.

Sears has a nice curved wrench that works great. I have two, one I cut in half to make it work even better in some situations. Might be what RCP Phx called it, a starter wrench.

Stress your motor mounts. It makes it much easier {I did keep a tranny jack under the trans to support the trans} and worked well for me.
