Yes very easily, with a nice TIG weld, access looks good and not covered in oil so is easy enough to do.

How do you split the transfer box from the gearbox? I removed all bolts and tried to pull apart but the middle shaft must also need to come out first before splitting?? When I had this box on the 4x4 there was a grinding noise when moving away in 1st. I think the sprockets inside have thrown a tooth.
