To disconnect the reverse sensor you just pull the connector out. It is located on the passenger side.

To disconnect the vacuum lines push them off, if you try and pull them off the lines will constrict. I disconnected the two hard lines from the frame rail and support cross member to make sure I didn’t bend them. In order to make sure I didn’t mix them up I just put a piece of tape around one on them on each end and on the corresponding hoses. Driver’s side.

There are also a couple connections on top of the transfer case. One is a connector that has a couple hoses and one is a single hose, just push these off as well. Top of transfer case driver’s side.

To disconnect the transfer case linkage there is a pin in the end closest to the transfer case that is removed by taking out the key. I removed the pin and then wired up the linkage so I wouldn’t have to completely remove it. Driver’s side.

To remove the rear driveshaft you will take apart the U-joint. The driveshaft from the transfer case to the rearend can be dropped as one piece, but before you take it out make sure you mark the U-joint so you can get it back together in the same position. The shaft and U-joints are balanced as a unit so if you switch the position it could vibrate once you put it back together. Once you get the bolts out of the U-joint you can slide the U-joint apart. I set the driveshaft on a jack stand so it wouldn’t slide apart at the hanger bearing. The caps on the U-joint can fall off once you have it apart so I recommend taping them or using saran wrap to hold them on.
