4x4 clutch replacement

The clutch in my 68 250 4 speed 4x4 is beginning to feel like its days are numbered. I've changed lots of clutches in two-wheel drive vehicles. but never in a 4x4. Does the transfer case (Rockwell 221) have to be removed? Both drive shafts? Any advice would be appreciated.

With a little 6 cyl. engine like that you probably would be better off pulling the engine rather then the trans.

Yeah, that thought occurred to me as well. Not looking forward to having to remove all that heavy metal behind the motor.

Yep, that is the probably the easiest way to do it. Removal of the tranny and t-case is far more work in my opinion.
