So there I am removing the Transfer Case (242) from my dismantled XJ.

Get all the linkages off, remove the crossmember, driveshafts off, and those top nuts that need to be removed to split the transfer case from the transmission!!!!  What buggers!!    Even dropping the transfer case/tranmission down and I still can't get to them with my sausage fingers!!

There is just no room even with a stubby wrench. There must be an easier way or a tool that will make the job easier. Had to give up this afternoon as it got dark.

BTW - Anybody want a perfectly working 242 transfer case with all the linkages/levers when I've finished?? Price to be agreed!!

think I got at em with a long socket/ratchet, could be wrong though its 8 years since I did mine. Just remember how bloody heavy it was when it pinned me to the floor

This is one way - so long as you don't want to use the jeep again



other way is to struggle

Yee Haw!!  Finally got it off. Easier to take off the lever plate inside the cabin and get at the upper nuts from there. Anyway job done and now off to the pub for a well earned beerski!!!
