Is there something about cracking the unit(s) that messes up the seals to require this?   Javier Velador (Jvelador) Member Username: Jvelador Post Number: 138 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 12:51 am:    I replaced both the transmission and the t-case. Because there is a good chance you'll mangle them as you are removing them, I say don't risk it. I thought about it myself, then realized I'd have to drop the •••••• & transfer case all over again if they started leaking. Wasn't worth the risk, IMO. One bit of advice, don't remove the long center console thingy as the Haynes manual says. It's not necessary. I broke mine by the driver's seat belt unnecessarily. Good luck!
