Transfer case bearing Removal

[BobbyBDirtyMax]

Does anybody have any tips or tricks or anything to help me. In my dads LLY the tcase chain is stretched and causing an issue in 4x4 so we went to rebuild it and for the life of us can't get the bearing out of the front case. Everything else is easy as cake. The little snap ring moves freely and everything. Do we need a special tool or something someone made. Thanks guys. This is just pissing me off

Was there a trick to it? Anything you found that could help others doing the same thing in the future?

Took a pair of flat headed pliers that pushed it just little more open then the snap ring PLO were allowing me and wiggled it gentley and she came right out, seems almost redundant to have a snap ring on both sides of that bearing but oh we'll finally got her out. Now just gotta finish up the rebuild tomorrow and back on the road

Here's what we used to put it back on:



Ratcheting pliers and a piece of pvc pipe.
