Not to hard just heavy. Rave says you use a mount on a jack to lower it down....

Hi, Done a few, one from underneath with jack, now do it from top useing engine crane, much easier once you drill the rivots out of the shift surround.:):):)

He means to get access to the top of the box you need to drill the rivets around the plate that holds transfer and gear leaver after removing the centre console. Then you bring an engine crane in through the door and wrap a sling around the box and lower.

The a picture of one I prepared earlier.

you cant just lower it with a jack ? like the old nissan and toyota box?
or do you really really need to get in at the top?

The problem is the shape of the transfer case. It will not sit flat on the jack. The Rave CD tells you how to make a frame to support it.
