I'm trying to drop the tcase to put an my sye, how do you unbolt the cross member? When I try to loosen the nut, both the nut and bolt spin, how do you stop the bolt from spinning with it? Thanks guys, hope I'm missing something stupid

not good the nut is supose to be welded you will have to cut it off and drill it out and retap it

Damn I was afraid of that. I had my local mechanic put in a tcase drop kit a couple years back. That doesn't mean anything to your diagnosis, does it?

I wouldn't even bother with pulling the transfer case...did mine under the jeep in about 2 hrs working at a slow pace

no living in the north it just probly rusted and when you tryed to take it out the spot welds broke its not the end of the world!

If it's just a hack n tap sye you shouldn't need to drop the t case.. it may make life easier but its not necessary.

Unfortunately I have a long arm kit coming too so I really need to drop this crossmember, and I don't want to cut up the frame, any ideas?

i just did my SYE with my T case in the jeep. i was all ready to pull the case untill i looked at how much room there actually is to work with it installed, i did it sittin on my **** with a trouble light and a few tools, mind you my T case needed nothing more than what came in the SYE kit, i cant say i would rebuild a case installed.

take it easy on the silicone and its a peice of cake
