np 208 rebuild

Has anyone done this, and should I consider this?

its not that hard if you have a Chilton's manual and proper tools lots of people in my 4x4 club rebuild there t cases all the time.

FYI Bill the cat rocks !

Even better than a Chilton's, why not download the -34 TM because it has more detailed instructions on rebuilding the T-case.

I've rebuilt a NP242 transfer case out of a Cherokee, they aren't very hard. Just take it slow and keep up with all the bolts.

figure it the weakess link in my build gone over every thing the only I havn't touch in the driveline. I going to start reading then figure out if I can handel it or not or want too either way it an education.

Reading over the TM, the 208 is very similar to the 242 I did so it's not hard if you go slow and pay attention to where the thrust washers go. Do make sure you have a really good pair of snap ring pliers, both the type with pins and the flat pads because those snap rings are big and very stiff to remove. I had a cheap pin set and one of the snap rings broke the tip off. Had to go get a Craftsman set to remove it without breaking off the tips.

It wasn't too bad when we removed ours. It ended up not being the problem, but using the GM shop manual from our Civy 6.2's, it was pretty easy.
