Thanks again, Chad

I just got done doing ths repair and did it your way leaving it on the car. It was surprisingly easy. I only removed the support frame, disconnected the driveshaft and bungee corded it to the exhaust to get it out of the way and then opened up the case and replaced the chain by sliding out the gears. The only thing I would add is that the gear with the snap ring has a dust shield on the outside that needs to be pried back so the gear pops right out when the snap ring is expanded. Leaving the transfer case on the car I was able to complete this DIY in about 4 hours going slowly and learning as I went.
