Anyone else try to remove the transfer case lever shift gate? It has some genius Chrysler engineering behind it where the bolts just thread straight down into the body and stick out around the linkage underneath. Well, mine rusted and broke around where they connect to the body and won't come out. I can't pry it out with a pry bar, and now I'm thinking of taking the Dremel out and cutting all the stupid bolt heads off and doing it that way...Any tips anyone?

 

Cut the petruding side of the threads off from underneath. Then you should be able to pry the whole assembly out. You werent able to get the shift lever out from the bottom without removing the whole assembly?
