All the linkage and everything is disconnected right? Cant think of any other reason. I had the prob. with a tranny once and had to push the clutch peddle to get it to go in all the way...sorry best I could do.

pry harder... if your sure everything taken off and itll seperate 1/4 in then keep goin... if you do it at any kind of angle it can bind and hang up also... but dont damage the edges...

yes both shafts off the truck .. linkage off, both speedo and switch sensors disconnected breather and Six Bolts

I too had the problem with a trany once. it eventually popped off ..

I wasn't sure if there was a internal lock and if it needed to be in a specific gear to release .. I tried all of them ...

It could be binding.. I'm going to enlist the help of a buddy. While i support the TC on my chest he can give it a solid strait yank ..

Anyone ever have the shafts rust together?

did you remove the tranny mount and the lower nut that bolts the t-case on? can't get that nut w/o removing the lower tranny mount (you can, with a 90 degree ratcheting wrench...but it's a PITA

yes cross member was off too.

I finally got it the aluminum oxidized and welded the top bolt post to the trany. I managed to get it off somewhat but the oxidation compressed and packed itself so tight I had to pry it .. I did mare the edge a bit in one spot. i I'm hoping everything lines up ok.
