Default Deadjeeps used transfer case

Got a used 231 from Deadjeeps eBay store. I didn’t realize before I put it in that it is stuck in 4wheel hi.
Any tricks to getting it unstuck? I tried going forward and reverse while trying to shift it but have been unsuccessful. Occasionally while trying I will get some grinding noise. With the linkage removed I cannot shift it manually.
Gonna suck if I have to pull it right back out.

Well I took a hammer and knocked the s**t out of the shift lever and it broke loose. Its working now, so far so good.
