It's pretty simple, just remove the drive shafts, linkage, and unplug the electrical stuff, six bolts between the trans and t-case. Be careful not to drop it on your head.

If your current one is fine - why not keep it in; and buy a rebuild kit ($200) for the newer 231. Drive till bad, then do your swap with basically a brand new tcase. Plus, if you use HD parts in the new one you're going to have one sic 231tcase to brag about. I dunno if what I'm saying is even worth doing. Just wanted to throw the idea out there. I'm pretty much a newb.
