What is the best tool for removing front t-case yoke? Heard people using slide hammers and pry-bars. Hub and pully pullers I have seen at A-zone, O'R, and NAPA don't seem like they would fit right. Is there a Craftsman tool or some other that is ideal?

1 1/8" socket/ratchet, 2' "breaker" bar (aka 1" aluminum tube), 12" pipe wrench to hold the yoke steady, remove nut, grab yoke and yank.
Once the nut is removed only the rubber washer and seal are holding it there. it may have been RTV'd as well but it should still just pull off with only a little force.

Got all the wrenches and breaker bar. Just thought the yoke would be real tight on the spline. Comes off that spline with no fuss? I like that. Thanks for the good word.

if it doesnt come off easily by hand a standard 2 jaw puller works great. just dont go beating on it with a hammer.

You can use a hammer, but don't wail on it. You shouldn't need to any how.. just small taps, spin it and do it again. Its not a press fit.
