Transfercase to front drive shaft removal.

This is my first jeep and first vehicle with CV joints. I pulled out all 6 bolts from CV joint at transfercase side. It wont come out. I push and pull and it wont move. I am use to the 4 bolts on a drive shaft, push and pull the sucker come's out. It is still in the air and I need to get it out so I can go to work tomorrow. How do I get this thing out.
Thanks

You have 6 bolts on both ends to remove. Then push it towards the front some pop the rear out then the front, easy 10 minute job :wink:

Remove the rear first.... push it up and to the right.
Then compress the front and slide the driveshaft down and out.

Hope this helps... :|

I tired that. the rear cv joint goes behind transfercase cable braket and hangs up. if i get it out and down at the nose and back is in the air. i compress the front cv joint and the front cv joint hangs up on a cross support while the rear is hitting under body. may have to drop exhaust ugh. ideas anyone?
