ok so i was out wheelin about 2 months ago, when i decided to try and show off and crawl up a ledge.. what a mistake. i munched my front bumper gas skid plate and worst of all my x-fer case skid plate. it bent up into the x-fer case and i must of damaged the front oil seal. i also cracked a bracket for the front pumpkin.. a superlift bracket which they replaced with minimal questions. and for free.

so its leaking where the front drive shaft bolts up to the x-fer case. my question is do you have to remove the transfer case to replace this? or is it as easy as unbolting the front drive shaft, unbolting the front cover, and pulling out the front oil seal. now in my FSM it shows two oil seals i'm hoping that its the front on and thats it. i dunno how to do it the FSM shows it.. and it doesn't look to hard but i wanted to ask to see what you all had to say.

BTW: going on a 600mile road trip with a leaky transfer case is very VERY messy. i mean i have/had oil everywhere. the back of my truck all underneath, all over my trailer, on the back of my trailer.. EVERYWHERE. maybe thats why everyone was staring at me when they passed me.. they musta been gettin sprayed with tranny fluid <img border="0" alt="[Hillbilly]" title="" src="graemlins/notooth.gif" />
