I rebuilt mine last year, the 8hr R&R was more difficult then the rebuild.
Well the reason I replaced mine wasn't because of bad seals or whatnot— it was because the front driveshaft had that common issue of being too short so it slipped out and destroyed all the splines in the front output shaft of the transfer case. I got an extended driveshaft from Cobra Transmission which requires removing the transfer case, so I figured I'd get a good condition used transfer case with good splines. I bought one from a 4.6 part-out for around $200 + shipping, which is cheaper than buying a new output shaft from Cobra Transmission for $450. I then replaced the chain in the transfer case before popping it into my 4.6. Overall it wasn't too bad of a job, I did most of it in one weekend
