So far everything is slow and difficult, Drive shafts not coming off easily
bolts hard to turn and reach,
will see, Im already starting to wish I had paid a mechanic to install a rebuilt transfer case, even though I can t really afford it.
If you dont need your car for 2-4 days then by all means do it and have a good variety of tools.

It is a big job But trust me it is worth the blood sweat and tears. The dealership wanted 7k$ to do this job. It's wasn't that bad. Having an extra person helps especially when dropping the exhaust. The only problem I ran into was putting back the drive axels and tightening the bolts on the rubber union. Took me about 8 hours to do the job. Preparation is the key. If u don't have the right tools and materials then it'll slow u down. The drive shaft will spin on you when u try to loosen the bolts that's connected to the rubber union. I had someone hit the brakes to get more leverage.
