Using a die grinder or equivalent, grind the stakes
in the shoulder of the shaft nuts as shown in (Fig.
202) and (Fig. 203). Do not grind all the way through
the nut and into the shaft. There are two stakes on
each nut.
Using a small chisel, carefully open stakes on nut
(Fig. 204).
Use special tool 6497 and 6498 to remove the
transfer shaft nut or the output shaft nut (Fig. 205).
Note that your breaker bar will turn clockwise to
remove the nut and counter clockwise to install the
nut.
Use special tool 6596 to remove front output shaft
bearing cup (Fig. 207).
