im doing a clutch on my 99 and cant break the seal between the transfer case and the tail housing. does anyone have any tricks on how to do this I was prying so hard it feels like i may snap one of the tabs off. also does anyone know where i can get the tool for the pilot bearing?

 

anybody?

 

i just did mine a couple of days ago. My seal was a pain to break in took a lot of screwdrivers and a lot of pry bars. even when i thought it should have released it didnt just keep working what ever you are prying with around the seal and it is time consuming or atleast mine was
when you are talking about a tool are you talking about the alignment tool? if you are it should come with your clutch kit im no profesional but i did do it successfully.

 

thanks, im talking about the slide hammer attachment to pull out the pilot bearing
