so looking from the back to the front youve got 4bolts on the left in a square and 4on the right in a square, both sides bolt the box to another 2 mounts which then bolt to the chassis via rubber blocks, first question do you only remove the 2 sets of 4 on each side or do you remove the ones that mount the box "mounts" to the chassis aswell (with the rubber blocks)? ive managed to slacken the left 4 bolts to the chassis mount and 3 of the 4 on the right but cant seem to get to the last one (bottom right bolt if you were looking from the side so furthest one if your looking from the back)! any tips?
also should i have one or two breathers on the transfer box? i can only see one and thats on the top behind the lever. and is there one on the gearbox? i heard somewhere that they already have one but couldnt seem to find it?
easier said than done have now given up as ive been under my jimny since half9 and have achieved nothing other than a loss of skin and patients! try again another day thats IF i can raise the enthusiasm. keep the tips and advise coming tho as i will be needing it again soon:)

Pah! Jacks are for wimps! Bench press it with your left arm undoing the nuts with your right hand or vice versa if left handed and re fitting is the reverse of removal as Haynes say. They never mention the hours you have to spend battling rusty fixings though!

Haha, I just bench press it and I have dislocated my shoulder 17 times, had corrective surgery which leaves me with less than 50% movement, but still I think nothing of dropping my transferbox still full of oil.
Gaz3359- ive looked at your pictures got a few questions for you. has you got 1 or 2 breathers on your transfer box? i can only seem to see 1 on mine! ive now managed to get the top one on (one the with the springy valve cap) was a complete mission, just got to put the t joint in then thats done but i need help finding the other one if i have one, mines a 2002 manual. dont want to put it back together untill im certain. had to drop the transfer box and sort of twist it round to gain access;)
ended up doing the bench press routine as suggested to manhandle the t-box, pure man power is all thats needed!
Sounds like your getting there,they are a pain but once its done its done,my jim is a 2000 x plate with the m13a,i only had 1 breather on my transfer box,but there is also one pictured on top of the gearbox aswell.also a bit of a pain to get at.hope this helps
