where exactly (if theres an exact spot) should i place the jack to support the tranny in order to remove the transfercase for an SYE install. there is a metal pan (looks thin) looking thing that im not sure would take the weight of the tranny once the crossmember is removed. is there a specific place to put jack?

Do it from that spot. if your worried about it, put larger piece of wood between the jack and trany to dispurce the weight.

put a block of wood between the jack and pan to spread the load.

Not being an a-hole but if you aren't sure of something like that I hope someone is helping with the SYE.

Tc not supported by mount ?

by mount you mean crossmember? i have to remove it in order to remove tcase...

Like was already said, put a 2x4 across the top of the jack and set the weight on the oil pan.

But, I didn't remove the T-case to install the SYE.

You do not need to remove the t-case to install the SYE.

yeah i know, im trying to go with the easiest route and i have read that the SYE install is much easier with the tcase removed.. i dont have a fancy garage with a car lift or anything so i would be working under the rig with nothin but a couple jacks lifting it up

That's how I did mine. Granted, my jeep's lift helped give me room to work, but I was on a creeper and it wasn't bad at all. Of course, now I'm sure there will be a barrage of people telling you shortly that you need to take the TC out to do the job more easily. Do whatever you're comfortable with. I'm just here giving my opinion/experience and the job went quick and smooth on my back... the way daddy likes it.
