Next came the rear drive coupling, it was here that I found that the transfer case had been rebuilt some time during its military service. How did I come to that conclusion? It was fitted with a clearly marked GMH oil seal no. 2057128. That is the same number as shown in the manual.

I next removed the speedo drive and the breather caps before I started on the input drive coupling. A film canister served as a protection cap over the speedo drive for many years. I was able to locate a breather filter for the breather years ago so that was lucky too.
