JustEmptyEveryPocket Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 For the rear, unbolt the u-joint caps at the rear diff and pull the driveshaft out of the transfercase. Literally pull, its a splined shaft that fits over the output on the transfercase. For the front, usually you have to unbolt it at both ends and remove, but don't quote me on that one.

jdog Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 It just slides out, once you've I bolted it from the rear end. Once out tape up the caps on the rear end side, basically, take the tape and wrap it around the ujoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Rear, unbolt at axle and pull. It may have some stiction (sticky friction) making it feel stuck. Pull a little harder. Front takes multiple steps. Break loose the 2 bolts that you can get to at the transfer case side. The head of the bolt is at the yoke coming out of the case and it faces the case. Once those 2 are out, unbolt the axle side and pull it loose. Spin the shaft halfway around and reinstall at the axle loosely. Break the other two bolts loose at the transfer case yoke. Then just finish removing at both ends and pull the shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC86Kid Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Ok so I unbolted it from the rear axle now I just pull and slide it out of the transfer case, sounds easy now I have to unbolt the tranny from the front, do I start with the bolts on the flex plate / starting wheel ?

jdog Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 You can start there, don't forget to disconnect the battery as the starter will have to come out as well. Also don't forget to disconnect the front driveshaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC86Kid Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Yes I have those two things removed I just hope I can support it’s weight from the oil pan sitting on wood and that I disconnect and shifters or electrical connectors so the don’t break as it drops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMC86Kid Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Ok I got the tranny and the transfer case out the filler neck for the tranny where you check the fluid level really gets in the way, I was wondering if there’s a way to remove it ? Also how do I find out what transfer case I have ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 the filler neck should unbolt and slide out, tc should have a tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC86Kid Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Sounds easy I will clean off all the grease so that I can actually see how to remove and read it thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC86Kid Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Let’s say I have a 207 transfer case is it even worth rebuilding ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Dunno, Google-fu says it's the predecessor of the 231, depends on your plans for the vehicle, if it's just driving around town then ya rebuild it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC86Kid Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 Ok I will shop around and see if there’s a good place to get it rebuilt I have started a new post about the tranny and TC here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
