Thread: Removing zf transmission with bw transfer

When removing a zf with bw transfer apart from prop shafts and securing bolts what other disconnecting needs to be done .
What wiring connectors am I looking for .
Is the shifter just a cable disconnecting and the transfer done with linkages .
Thanks to all .

Park brake; I found it easier to remove the backing plate (4 bolts accessible with the drum off) and wire the whole park brake assembly out of the way rather than to disconnect the cable. Alternatively, the cable can be disconnected from the lever end, can't recall which end was easier.
Speedo drive; if memory serves, a 6mm retaining bolt and you can pull the drive end out of the transfer, easy to access once the park brake backing plate is off.
Auto shift cable; been a while, but I think there was a clevis pin with an E-clip, and a bracket with two 8mm bolts holding the outer cable to the transmission.
Transfer high/low mechanism linkage; think there was a small R-clip holding this on at the transmission end.

I may be remembering the linkages wrong, several years since I removed one, but there's certainly nothing complicated about the job. Heavy but.
