I'm working on my K2500 98 Suburban. I have a transfer case (NP246) which has severely cracked front and rear housings. I bought a remanufactured NP246 to replace the broken one. I cannot find a tutorial or video that clearly shows how to do it. I am stuck.
1. Driveshafts. I have the rear driveshaft out. It doesn't look like I will be able to get the front driveshaft out without dropping either the exhaust, the transfer case, the oil filter adapter, or front diff. Should that be the case?
2. I cannot access the bolts that connect the transfer case and the transmission (4l80e) together.
3. I have removed every nut and bolt which I can see which holds the cross member to the frame and the transfer case. I cannot get the cross member to move.
Any tips and or links to tutorials would be much appreciated.
