I just watched a you tube video on a jeep one very similar thank you. Now to find the right one

I did soak it with PB Blaster before trying to remove it. The spare transfer case that I picked up in Maryland had the bolt broke off in the transfer case and I'm still trying to remove it. Tried numerous times welding a nut onto the broken bolt and still can't get it out. It seems to be oxidized in-place due to the dissimilar metal issue.


Soaking it in pb blaster is a good idea. It's probably never been out before on mine.
