Hello, Over on www.brickboard[dot]com the practice of removing the center drive shaft and bevel gear well documented. You wouldn't be the first to do this. One guy listed the part numbers necessary for a complete bevel gear rebuild. If you don't need AWD enjoy the mileage benefit. Kira

i wanted to take the transfer case out of the car for now so i could drive it and about 6 or 7 months get a new unit or rebuld that one i'm a mechanic so i would be able to do all the work at home so any advice on FWD axels or intermadate shaft instead of the t-case.
