Are there any write up's? This is going to be my first time doing this and I just want a general idea of what exactly needs to be done. I found out that pulling the awd tranny and motor together is tight and was wondering if there are any tips/tricks.
Also about how long to unbolt the transfer case then pull them both? How long to bolt up a new motor, turbo, radiator w/ new fans, etc.
 
Can I pull the transfer case with the motor and trans?
and just disconnect the driveshaft?
 
I think what he's talking about is that most of the links and pics are not hosted by the same place. There for if someone's server goes down for whatever reason then there are holes in the vfaq.

Take the transfer case off. It takes 5 minutes. Take the 5 bolts off, get a pry bar, pry it off and lay it on the floor. Done.:thumb:

Here's how i pull a motor:

- drain all fluids
- pull all the intercooler pipes and battery out
- drop the downpipe
- drop the transfer case
- pull the axles out
- disconnect all the wiring and evrything else thats bolted to the chassis
- take the starter off
- get a jack and place it under the trans/motor
- disconnect the motor mounts and pull the motor and trans out.

Of course that's a quick rundown but it's really straightforward. The hardest part in my opinion is the suspension/axles.
