Hi there Facade, Thanks for taking the time to respond. Good information!! I will measure them!! I will try not to break anything!!! He he I do wonder if I can get it out without moving the transfer box though??? Anyway, thanks again, yours Martin
As far as I know the transfer case does not need to be removed, unbolt the jackshaft from the transfer case flange, slip that end sideways and slide the other end out of the transmission.
A large vice makes life easy, but it's not a must have - I've done it, admittedly not on a Jimny, with a couple of suitably sized sockets (one large enough for the cup to slide in to, and one small enough to tap the cup in/out), circlip pliers and a hammer.
Hi there,
Wow, that would be good. It was playing on my mind.
Over here in Japan it's really hard to find a mechanic or garage prepared to work on older cars. It's a case of "why don't you buy a new one??" My poor wife has been the translater and has suffered greatly!! He he Though she now has a larger English car parts vocabulary!!!
The fact that I may well be able to get it out without removing the transfer box has cheered me up a lot!!! It means doing it myself is back on the cards!!!
Thanks again Fordem and you others guys for you great info.
Please let me know if you I can help from Japan??
Yours Martin
