I dunno if you have rust down there, but if my breaker bar won't move something on my Jeep generally it needs to be cut off and replaced lol. I suppose that could come in handy for heavy equipment but I imagine a 3/4" drive would be more useful? IDK I'm not a mechanic.

I guess that demonstrates it lol

Snapped the threaded end off the manual valve shaft while trying to disconnect the shift linkage
I was going to drop the pan and replace the filter before filling the transmission back up, but now I have to source a new shaft, and drop the valve body

At least there's no guessing like the Jeep... is this fastener SAE or metric? *tries 9000 different bits*

Pulled headliner and scrubbed it down. Ripped out the amp the PO installed and now need to figure out how to get sound to the rear speakers. Made an aluminum bracket for the read passenger side storage area to keep my trailer hitch and various and sundries in. Next up is finishing the headliner and pulling the dash to replace heater and ac stuff (heater coil is pushing steam up the front window).

Drained and refilled the transfer case. I used 75w-90 gear oil instead of the recommended Dex/Merc ATF because that stuff just leaked right out of the rear seal.
Soon, I will replace that seal too...but I can't for a couple weeks so hopefully the gear oil will be an OK bandaid.
I adjusted the toe on the front suspension to be a bit more toe out. When I measured it, it was quite a bit more toe-in than I thought it was. I don't have the money for a professional computer alignment so hopefully I can just get this dialed-in by hand...
