I need to fix the transfer and tried today if I can remove it with the powerpack still in place. Turned out to be straightforward.
Obviously first remove everything of the back of the transfer:
Then the only trick is to lift the transmission slightly. To do so, disconnect the exhaust at the front of the muffler, remove the rear bolts from the transmission mount and loosen the front engine mount bolts:
Less than an inch is needed, just enough so that the tall part of the transfer housing is clearing the body:
Removing the bolts from the transfer and it can be moved backwards far enough to clear the upper shaft. Don't let it trip forward as the needle bearings of the intermediate gear will fall out, if one drops into the transmission, the whole idea of saving 2 hours removing and installing the powerpack is gone.

Re: Removing the transfer with powerpack in truck
I installed the thrust washer with screws as I did not have the right rivets. Should not be an issue
new roller bearing for the transfer inputs shaft.
and a used set of gears out of the original gearbox when I got the jeep, the transmission part of it was rusted beyond repair
44 rollers, there was a measurable difference in diameter between the ones going in and the old ones coming out. I used plenty of grease to make sure they don't fall out when installing the whole thing
Took me a full afternoon to get everything back together

Horst,
very interesting.....thanks for the posts. Where did you get your new Torrington bearing and the thrust washer?

Re: Removing the transfer with powerpack in truck
Ken,
got the bearing on ebay in US, but already some time ago. The thrust washer is out of my "Barstow" gearbox, so used, but not with a lot of mileage.
The whole exercise did reduce the noise of the transfer, specifically when coasting, significantly. It is still there but not as loud as before. Transmission makes noise and looking on the gears and rollers of the transfer, this must be a transmission with a lot of miles. However rebuilding the transmission part is obviously much more work and I don't have any good parts for it.
