Thanks for thhe advice. I really appreciate all the help and
suggestions everyone has given me with this transfer case work.

I got the transfer case put back together tonight. I haven't torqued
down the rear yoke fully yet; it says it needs 150 lb-ft of torque. I
can't get it over 125 w/it turning with the torque wrench (I have the
tranny in gear right now). I'm thinking I probably need a nice,
massive adjustable wrench to hold that yoke in place while I finish
torquing the nut down.

This is a small problem compared to everything else I've figured out.
It's so nice that this mod has finally finished successfully.

Later!
