I was going to the brother-in-laws' place to do it so he can supervise, and got my mate roped into helping.  I bearly managed to carry the gear box and transfer box from my car to the garage so deadlifting into place is out of the question :shock:   Thank for the advice though. :wink:

tpk241:
For the transfer box, replace each bolt you remove with some threaded bar. That way you have more control over sliding the box on and off without damaging oil seals and shaft.

A job I am about to do as I need to reseal, thankfully I have a pit and some helpers...

Having had to assist four other blokes to bench press Chriss9119's gearbox... I recomend borrowing or hiring.... or even buying an engine hoist!   :shock:  :roll:  :lol:

meader:
or just do wot i did took the transfer box down than slid the oil seal on to the shaft that way wen you lift it up you can balence it on the shaft without damaging the seal and wen you do all the nut up the seal slides in to the box .i havent had any leaks yet but now i have said it you just watch and your right its bloody heavy wen your trying to fit it on your own
