Figuring stuff out**
To summarize it..
I supported the transmission with a block of wood on top of the jack, removed the cross member, unbolted the transfer case side of the front drive shaft ( mark which holes line up to avoid vibration) took an impact gun to the 30mm nut hidden by the drive shaft, pulled off the piece under that.. splined cover that bolts to the drive shaft. Then un bolt the last 4 bolts ( where the paper gasket is) and pull that cover off.. in there is a felt - like seal thing, and a hard plastic seal pop replacethose two and reverse it. Wish I had those instructions to start with though :p
yea neither did I! :p I ended up staying late breaking loose the diff drain plug, and trans drain plug. I'm lucky the previous owner didn't strip em out they were so tight.
so there is one piece that is not in the picture. It slides over the splines of the transfer case, and bolts to the drive shaft. once you slide that off, then you can access the 4 bolts seen on the transfer case. in that cover is the gasket and carpet like o-ring thing. That is also the separation that I didn't realize I would need to take a part, so I didn't have a gasket for it. The metal around the splines is NOT removable. haha I tried trust me. It's a retainer and the seals go in from the inside. Hopefully someone who was as lost as I was comes across my jumped assortment of tips. Oh, and its been almost 24 hours and no leaks!
and now I have technical terms!
here's where I was working.
the seals are hidden just inside the bearing retainer. So everything from that to the nut with 1250 (90, 123) underneath need to come out.
