I'm thinking about taking on the challenge of resealing my own transfer case. Has anyone here done this before? If so, how difficult is it? If I took it to a shop, they would likely get me for the 5-6 hours to r & r plus a couple more for the bench time. For that kind of money, a rebuilt one would begin to make sense....especially if it was done right. Thoughts?
Has anyone here resealed a T case?

Where's the leak?
The output seals are easily accessible without removing the case. Clearly, the input - from the transmission - isn't.
Yes, I've replaced output seals and it's not a big dreal at all. When the blasted thing (a) continued to leak, and (ii) began making scary noises, I replaced it with a rebuilt unit from Rob Dassler (RoadsideRob) in ABQ.
The nice freight truck man brought me a big heavy crate, I removed the old one, installed the rebuilt one and was lucky enough to meet Rob a the '06 Rally in Leadville to return his core.

2) Not a technically challenging remove & replace.

thats a ton...but of course if they did it right they did have to drop the case so your labor rate was more than likely through the roof.
