Transfer Case Linkage

How do you remove the transfer case linkage on the transfer case?

 

Thanks

I guess your linkage boots aren't so worn you can see thru them lol. Lucky you.

carefully peel back the boot, they tear easily as mentioned above and there are little bolts under there that conect the links to the t-case lever and sift shaft arm.

first...take out the center console and rubber boot for the shift lever. next you'll have to get underneath and locate the shaft...this is the weirdest shift lever configuration I can imagine...btw....cut the top boot band where the shaft meets the rest of the linkage. there is a snap ring that holds it all in...located at the top its not a typical snap ring..you have to pry it off with a small flathead...there is a pin that sits in a grove (pin goes through the center of the main shaft) just below the ring..once the ring is off get back inside the truck and work it loose until you can pull it out...there is a long spring attached to it.

 

You don't need to take the whole assembly apart...just remove the ring, you can use a good sized wire tie to put the boot back on securely.
