Pulling Transfer Case to Reseal
So today is the day I am going to pull my transfer case to replace the main seal. I was reading a few forum post and noticed on an older discovery that a guy had a service hatch under either the console or driver seat. Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a service hatch for 2003 land rover discovery?
And if anyone has any tips on changing this seal please fill free to pipe in.
Thanks,
J

I've got to play devil's advocate here, is the rear main leaking? After I pulled my t-case I was a few bolts short of the transmission.... And while I have a tranny jack, air tools and a lift at my disposal it was only another hour to seperate it from the bell and replace the RMS. Just say'in....

Mike, the leak was really bad when I drove on the highway gear oil was all over my back window. I worked on it all night last night, I am having trouble getting the hi/lo cable off the RAVE CD says to pull the clevis pin put it is really hard to get to. When you pull a t-case do you normally pull the shifter to access the top of the case?
Also when I pull the t-case off is it okay to put a jack stand on the transmission oil pan for support?
Thanks for the help,

And yes it would be fine supporting the gearbox on the oil pan, maybe put a small piece of wood between the stand and the pan tho.

Thanks for the help much appreciated, one more quick question. I was told it is easier to pull the T-case if you pull PTO cover off and pull out the gear along with the out put shaft from the Tranny? If that is the case when I put the gear back in is their any specs I need to be aware of like the exact placement or measuring with shims or does it just stabs back on the shaft and seal it up.
