Yeah its a bit of a stinker. rxinhed will tell you it can be pulled from above, but I couldn't get it. I used about 3.5 feet of extensions to get to the bolts from behind the transfer case, after pulling the driveline and just letting it hang. Don't pull it from the t-case or you'll be cleaning up an oil spill ;-)

Be careful when you get both bolts out. It *will* fall out on its own! Let us know how it goes smile
