I have a small leak at the front of my transfer case, where the front driveshaft connects. Obviously assuming the seal, so I bought one. I have been researching and can't find much out. Do I need to remove the transfer case and split it to do the seal? I can't seem to find any vids or walkthroughs on this one.

 

The seal would be located on the outside. No need to split the case.

 

This is a picture from my 2013 manual if it helps. #22 being the front seal. The shaft #21 looks to be held in with snap ring #26.

 

ah good catch. Definitely need to remove the output shaft to get to the seal.

 

Thanks guys. I figured as much looking at the picture as well. It's not a terrible leak, so I'll just keep an eye on it for now. Drained and filled it today for the heck of it. Didn't look too bad, but only had 25K on it since last time I changed it. 93K on the truck. Noticed it leaking a little when I was under there last weekend working on my turbo coolant fittings. Fun project... Not. Especially when you have to cut off an exhaust flange stud that was bent so the nut wouldn't come off, even with fire and a big breaker bar...

 

Take a look here...
