It has been recomended to me by South Bay Driveshafts that before I install my one piece drive shaft I should replace my transfer case rear output bearing and seal. OK, sounds like a good idea. Now the questions. Can it be done in the truck? I've changed out a seal before but not a bearing. Does it take any special tools? How is it done? I'm not a half bad tool turner and have taken apart chain driven TC's before on a Jeep with Quadrajunk when I converted it to part time. If I can do it in the truck (which I did on the Jeep) is there more I should just go ahead and do with it apart? New sprockets, chain etc? My 5sp SR5 3.slow has 140K on the case but it's as quiet as a mouse and functions perfectly.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. I'd help myself with my Haynes book but they say to take the case to a dealer to get it worked on and don't even give me a blow-up diagram of the case. Piss-poor book for stuff like this.

Thanks,
