Posted September 11, 201212 yr Does anyone know if I need to remove the crossmember? There is one nut on the bottom of the transfer case /od section that I can not seem to get to. Thanks
September 11, 201212 yr There are two crossmembers, should only have to remove the rear one held on b 4 bolts.
September 11, 201212 yr Author This is the nut that I cant get to. Do I need to remove the front crossmember? I wanted to avoid that. Any ideas? Thanks!
September 11, 201212 yr That main crossmember is a royal pain and I would drop it only as a last result.
September 11, 201212 yr I would try to loosen the trans mount and pick the trans up to get to that nut, rather than dropping the crossmember.
September 12, 201212 yr Like Bearing said.Just by jacking up the tranny you can change the transmission mount (on a 5-speed... but IIRC it is the same mount on an auto, so there should be room.)GL and this is late enough you probably have the truck washed, and sipping a beer.Hag
