M38 Dana 18 tranfer case

[Deleted]

Aside from minor repairs to the park brake, I'm attempting to repaint the transfer case. I've cleaned it up and now steel wheeling the remaining surface rust. Is it possible to remove the park brake and shifter assembly without tearing into the transfer case? It appears I'll have to remove the 1 1/4 nut and use a puller to take off the park brake. Any thing else there? As for the shift assembly, I've removed the attaching bolts but it will only pull out a short distance. What's holding it? Help!

Thanks,

Bill

Remove the nut and washer, make sure the brake adjustment is backed off all the way, if it's tight a puller may be needed, most slide right off, I would also recommend replacing the seal once your in there, Ron Fitzpatrick has the best seal in my opinion.
