So I've seen several tutorials and videos on splitting the h3 transfer case. Everything looks pretty straightforward except none that I have seen talk in detail about the actual removal from the truck. So I went under the truck tonight to see what I was facing and everything looks good, except for the nut that sets on the upper left of the case. There appears to be no room to turn a wrench up there at all, or use of air impacts. I think the other 4 will be ok. Maybe once the trans brace is off maybe it will sag down a bit and allow loosening of this nut? Anyone who has tackled this give me a heads up! How did you get to this nut?

 

Last time we used a Shorty Ratcheting Wrench from a set we bought at Harbor Freight.

Take the TC Control module off FIRST! Then you can clock(maneuver) the TC around until it drips down through the framerails and cross supports.

 

Thanks for the info. I will see what I can find at the parts store that might work.
