I'm gonna need to have the front pulley shaft replaced, today while riding the nut came off and the pulley damaged the shaft(badly). My question is, does the engine need to be taken out to be able to replace it? Does anyone know what's involved?

Thanks

looking at the manual really quick, doesnt look like it - just side cover and pull shaft from transfer case

I believe that AlanH has done this. Pm him.

Thanks for the info guys, I PM AlanH.

Chris,
No the engine doesn't have to be pulled. It's a cake walk for you based on your current modifications.

Suggest you inspect spacer behind pulley for wear, pulley nut and of course the drive pulley splines and matting surfaces on all these parts. It's important that these parts tighten up perpendicular to the new middle shaft. You will need two new crush washers...one for pulley and one for final drive gear in transfer case. Transfer cover case gasket...one large gasket and small washer style gasket for center screw in transfer case. I pulled the transfer case and the pump as an assembly without any problem so no gasket required. You will need to pull your muffler to get at the transfer case. Oh....also will need differential fluid for reassembly. That's it for now

Thanks Alan, talk to you later.
I'll have to call Richie for the parts once i know what to order.
