sye kit install
PaulW:
Sye's are rather easy. I've dove so far into a 231 as to change the input shaft in mime so i could make it fit. The tailshaft is a hell of a lot easier to remove. Let me know if yo u want some help.

I did mine a few months ago. It is not a hard job at all. I definitly recomend pulling the transfercase out of the Jeep to do it. Some say it can be done while it is still in the Jeep, but I don't know how. From start to finish it took me 2 football games on a Sunday including a trip to Autozone (round trip from my house is 45 min). There are a lot of good write ups online, including a video by a guy who did it while it was still in his Jeep, but I don't remeber where, best bet is to just Google it. Heavy duty snap ring pliers are a must. I made the mistake of using a cheap pair thinking they would do the job but I just bent them up with the thick snap rings. I bought a pair from Autozone for about $15. The only "scary" part of the job was cutting the end off of the shifter rod. Some intalls don't require this, but I had to cut about an inch off of the end of mine where it slides into the tail housing. Let me know if you have questions.
By the way check out http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/ in the vendor section for good deals on these. I have seen them sell for $175 including shipping, sometime cheaper.

i install them with the case in the jeep. but when you have a vehicle lift and full set of snap-on tools it's easy

I have done a couple, on in and one out of the jeep (both TJ's) it was pretty easy both ways. Also, I am on leave until the 23rd (although I will be out of town this coming weekend), so if you get it before then, I can lend a hand.
