This is a job for a lift. You basically have to remove 2 transmissions; the main and the transfer case. Too big for the street!

Go to you nearest auto part. Store. They will print one up for you or when you get the kit it will diagram with it

not disengaging in tranfercase.....

Hi, the axle shaft has to be removed prior to taking the ball joints out.

The torque for the front drive shaft and hub retaining nut is 155ft.lbs. But if you are on the metric system,
it's 210N.m . These specs are for both 1999 and 2001
Hope this helps. Good luck.

the accuator is proby weak and working under pressure!!!!!

First of all try checking your fuse box and make sure the 4X4 fuse is still good. If the fuse is good, move the shift lever for the 4X4 on the floor into 4 high, then get a friend to watch underneath when you move the vehicle a little bit to see if the front driveshaft is turning. If the front shaft going to your differential is turning the problem is probably the electric actuator on the differential.

If the overall length of the tailshafts are the same, If I remember correctly, you can just swap the tailshaft housings.In some cases though, the output shaft needs to be swapped as well. Check with any transmission shop and they can tell you for sure!

rebuild the original, a 95 wont and cant work, and it a 2 wheel drive if the shaft is too long... www.TransmissionGarage.com
