Best thing to do is throw your transfer case away and put a np273(ford) tcase in it. I've been fighting a leaky 261 for 4 yrs. bout to convert mine over
Good snap ring pliers always make life easier. I got sick of cheap ones and ones that did more than one thing, so I broke down and dropped a lot on Knipex ones specific for each size and direction. Pricey but worth it. Still adding to them, theres 5 sizes with internal and external in both straight and 90* so 20 total.
It sounds pretty interesting.
Rear driveshaft and speed sensor come out and rear half removed.
Can you leave the front driveshaft, vacuum line and other harness wires attached?
Oh - along with the crossmember and rear mount in place.
Wow, that is the way to go! :thumb:

There is no vacuum line just the vent hose, yes that, the wires and front shaft all stay attached. Transmissions crossmember and mount stay in place. I assume that is the "rear mount" you are referring to?
You're right, it is the vent hose - reached up there yesterday twisting & turning . . . while trying not to bust the plastic fitting.
And, it's the rear Alli mount on the crossmember that I was thinking of.
I guess, if you have to pull the cab, might as well fix the pump rub while you're there.
Oh well, as of yesterday at 4 o'clock . . . mine's done. :woott:
