I can honestly say that for the first time when dealing with a car I'm completely and totally stuck. I've been fighting my Jeep's exhaust for a week straight: I've used PB blaster, a torch, a sledge hammer, many 4 letter words and all the muscle I have and the damn thing won't come off the car! The reason I'm going through all this is here:







Yep. that's the transfer case. It's gone. Tore in half!

I have a 242 transfer case and rear drive axle to put in (the rear axle needs to be modified by a 4x4 shop first). I'm sourcing out a new front axle as the old one is toast. The reason I need to remove the exhaust is because one of the old TC nuts is frozen and rounded so I need to cut off the stud and start from scratch on it.


So, who wants to turn a wrench with me? I promise minimal cursing by me during your visit.
