so like the title says, can you install a SYE with no issues in a jeep cherokee without removing the case? i was told by the guy at the jeep junkyard not to cause the chain will not line up right. please inform and if there is already a write up the please point me in that direction. thanks

Yes, an SYE can be done under the rig. Without issue will depend on how good a job you'll do.

hahaha, the transfer case isnt that hard to get out anyway

 

yea theres some pretty in depth how to videos on youtube

 

ok i ran into one big issue that i cant seem to get past, my front driveshaft bolts on the t-case side are rounded off!!! the ones you cant get a socket on and have to use a wrench on. i was stupid and tried a 12 point wrench first and they were already pretty bad but now i cant get it to even catch the wrench. to small a space for vise grips, any advice. i am at a stand still. will post pics if needed.

thanks guys, i just didnt want to take it off if i didnt have to. if i did take it off then i would replace my rear seal cause some times it leaks and some times it doesn't.

 

small chisel and hammer then get new bolt and install with 6point wrench

 

Or use a box and open.

 

bolts rounded off

 

its hammer time

 

how strong are these bolts and would it hurt my yoke on the output shaft of the t-case to bang on it like that?

 

Try a smaller socket like a standard or metric. Hammer something down on it so it cuts new teeth down on it. i have had that work before if you can get something to go down on it

 

the problem being that i can not even fit a small 1/4" rachet and 8mm short socket up there, so i cant pound a socket on there. i am tempted to just cut off the tops of the bolts with cutoff wheel and use vice grips to take the bolts out the drive shaft. then i could just get a new yoke for the front output shaft. just a thought but i want that to be my last resort. i already have spare bolts, i just want the damn things out!
