A little trick I've used in past for cracking the flange nuts on gearboxes or t'fer cases if you don't have a rattle gun is as follows:- After removing the split pin put a socket and bar on the nut with a handle long enough to contact the floor or a beefy item of structure on the vehicle. You can then instal your crank handle and select the appropriate gear i.e. first or reverse and give a heave on the crank handle.

This can save wrestling with the bar underneath the truck and possibly injuring yourself. The reduction through the gearbox makes for sufficient torque to be applied with ease. By the same token, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN if you use the same method to do up the nut.

Just remember that the T'fer case on an AWD vehicle drives more than one axle and you may have to jack up a wheel to allow the drive line to turn over.
