Removal and Install of Transfer Case Ford F-150 1997

This is how I removed and installed a transfer case out of a Ford F-150 1997 truck. I also had to remove the torsion bars and cross member. Hope this helps with your removal and install.

Great video. There is another more detailed vid out now, but yours gives me confidence to tackle it myself.

[@anikin1999]

I work on these often. YOU don't have to remove the torsion cross-member.

Michael Counterman how to u get it out in from or behind the member

[@joseluisgracia6218]

Mike my transfer case on my 99 expedition is stuck on neutral and won't go into drive, reverse nothing not even park! And when I try putting on park it makes a noise like if the wheels are moving and I'm putting on park! Could it be a vacuum problem or should I change my transfer? Please give me your advice! Please? Thanks u n God bless

@@joseluisgracia6218 jose i see you never got a response here, did you figure out the issue? im having the same problem..

[@Ekeadin]

[@latino28frmnc]

Man thanks for that video I'm working on one of this right now and I couldn't get the transfer case out , I was getting ready to give up . Great video thanks

[@jaradbrink]

Glad it helped! :)

[@jesusadame4364]

Helpful video brother, gonna take on one of these pretty soon

[@latino28frmnc]

Oh and great idea about the tool for the jack 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@jaradbrink]

Glad it helped you!

[@snkboarder]

Doing like this guy did and removing that cross member and leaving the bars connected at the A-arms is the easiest way to go if you live in an area with rust issues, like a coast or the north. I've seen these so rusted and corroded that people will unbolt and lift the cab up to get the T-case over the cross member or remove the A-arms with torsion bars intact. It's not a job you want to have to do unless you live in New Mexico or something, lol.

Exellent video

[@cozyclassics7]

Thank you much for the video!!!!!!!! this was the only really helpful video I found!

So this was in fact, a video of r&r of the crossmember. NOT the Xfer case...

[@dirtyred7265]

thanks... helped me to install my transmission

[@jaradbrink]

Thanks! Glad it helped.

[@afortunado81]

Thanks for the video, now I know how remove my transfer case

[@lanceanderson5826]

Dude, you state this is how your removed and installed a transfer case.......NO, it's how you removed a torsion bar, and then magically the transfer case fell out, and installed itself. No helpful info AT ALL!!! Thanks for nothing!!!

[@lamegame420]

Didnt even need to remove the torsion bar either

[@trevorhough4667]

@@lamegame420 will the transfer come out without removing that cross and torsion? I'm doing it now and have the bolts off x member but stuck. How with out removing this crossmember

[@19jody72]

Never worked on a 4x4... first time.ever... how heavy is the tranfercase?

[@bulletproofpinata2328]

I have a 98 f150 and has had problems shifting while in 2wd it shifts fine in 4wd but will not shift while in 2wd while in park it wont go into drive or anything

[@kevinwchr]

Thank you for the video

[@jaradbrink]

Your welcome! Glad it helped.

[@rebeccawartig8329]

Thanks for the video. My boyfriend is doing this right now. Did you have trouble getting the rod back in?

[@marcussmith3803]

Hey Jarad, if i don't have a pneumatic hammer will a 5lb sledge hammer and chisel work? Thanks in advance i have a cracked housing and trying to replace it tomorrow

[@jaradbrink]

Sorry for the late reply - Just saw it. It might but the pneumatic hammer was way easier. Let me know how you got along with the sledge hammer.

[@codyswilley]

Gotta pull a transmission and transfer case out of a 2000 f150 before I take it to the junk yard

[@frederickeseremiojie778]

My name is Frederick Eseremiojie I have a problem with my Ford f 150 model 1979. the problem is about the gearbox how to get from you thanks.

[@Davidisaiahbritt]

Hey Jarad, did you already have the front end of the torsion bar loose from the LCA or did you use the impact to break the bar loose from both ends at the same time? Thanks.

[@jaradbrink]

David Britt The impact gun broke it loose from both ends at the same time.

[@Davidisaiahbritt]

Nice, I ended up just cutting the control arm off. The ball joints were bad, so we were going to replace it anyways. My 4 pound hammer wasn't working very well.

[@mesothelioma5024]

[@connerrudd1317]

[@6ford9]

Get that atf out of that case use xl12 gonna destroy it

[@rontomsethman4366]

why are you removing the torsion bar

[@chadlove3443]

He removed the torsion bars to get the cross member out.

[@BBsAuto]

Don't do this.... Cut the exhaust!!!

[@williamcason338]

Way to much work removing torsion bars, it could be done without, removing torsion bars or exhaust

[@drmachinewerke1]

Did it have room with removing the front if the transfer case to transmission' the 6 or so bolts' ?
