When replacing the clutch is it easier to pull the transmission and transfer case as a unit or separate them???? I removed the torsion bars (what a pain) but how do you clear the third cross member to give yourself enough room to remove the clutch??? Do you have to remove the transmission completely to get at the clutch???

its easier with 2 people and a jack when kept together, just remember to disconnect all the wires and other attaching parts.

Thanks for the input. Another ????? How do you adjust the torsion bars. I counted the number of turns when I removed them. So would it be correct when I reinstall them to do the same.
