There are no snaprings, only split rings.  All you need is a good set of split ring pliers with the knurled duck-bill ends to spread the rings.  I use Craftsman.

Need a 10mm 12pt socket for the one odd-ball bolt on the case halves, I usually replace with with a 15mm bolt to match all the others.

CLean all sealing surfaces with a wire brush, then follow up with brake cleaner on a rag.  Use the RTV silicone very sparingly, like 1/8" bead and spread evenly with your finger.  Less is more, as long as the entire sealing surface is covered.  No set-up time required on the RTV.

A little RTV on the yoke splines helps as well.

My kit should be arriving tomorrow and I'll probably et to doing it the first week of Aug.

On a side note, my new pre-crimped A/C lines arrived and I'll be doing that tomorrow.

Make sure you get those dick-billed split ring pliers...  I tried it without that, worked for about 4 hours on them with no luck, decided to drive to Sears and get one of those, and finished the job 30 minutes later!

Ok, looking at this SYE install on a '94 (not mine) it looks like I'll need a pair of snap-ring pliers and a brass punch as well.  Might as well get a 12-pt. 10mm socket while I'm there.  I only have a 6-pt.

Don't use snap-ring pliers, wrong tool for the job.  The split-ring pliers will work 10x better.

Correct on the brass drift and a 10mm 12pt socket.  The caged bearings drive out easily resting the hub over the gap between two blocks of wood.  Or get fancy and use a press.

Ok, so that's not a snap-ring but a split-ring then.

Correct, a small split ring. The pic is of the incorrect tool.  The split ring pliers have flat knurled ends that make the job so much easier.

Well, I got almost everything.  Didn't find ATF (actually they has ATF D/M) so I went with 30w.  Also couldn't find a brass drift punch.  Depending on if I feel like it I might order one on Amazon.  If not I'll just be careful and knock it out with a regular punch or maybe try the gear puller.

I bought a brass punch off Amazon along with some 6T jack stands.

Well, I started tearing it apart.  Ran into some issues but overall wasn't hard.  The first thing, the locking ring pliers from Craftsman worked great.  No snap rings just all locking rings.  Good thing I bought the brass punch.  I tried the gear puller but it wasn't working.  Knocked it out with the punch in no time.  Yeah, my transfer case had the bearings.  it also had the 10.2" mode fork.  Luckily I had a bunch of cutting wheels.  I got it down to 9.3801".  It needed to be 9.380".

Impact wrench on the yoke made live so much easier then trying to get i done with wrenches and breaker bars under the Jeep.

With all the on the fly improvising, I ran out of daylight.  Was getting too cold to do the RTV.  I'm hoping to have it all closed up tomorrow.  I ordered some new rear shackles as well so I'll need to get them on before taking measurements and ordering a shaft.  I'm about a week ahead of where I need to be for my scheduled road trip.

you cut that with the dremel  :yikes:

$10 for an angle grinder at HF and $5 for a set of cutting wheels would have make that a 2 minute job.
