air shift transfercase

[crash69]

I got a problem with an air shift transfercase.
when i flip the switch to engage the front shaft
i get air coming out vent on top of the transfercase
and it does not engage.
any ideas?
thanks

Check your hose into the T-case.

Rebuild air cyl. on transfer.

I kinda figured thats what it was which leads to the question can you remove the air cylinder without removing the case
from the truck? The reason I ask is there is a cross member located in front of the cylinder that would limit the removal.

Yes.

Take the right sockett and grinder and make two flats on the end so you can put a adj. wrench on it. Then remove the nut that holds on the piston and the cyl. will come off before it hits the x member.

listen... its not that complicated... just take the 4 bolts off with a box end wrench, tap with a rubber mallet it all comes apart.. all you need is a seal,

you have enough space to do this.
