Dismantling a GT4 Celica Transfer case housing

[trd_st184]

Hey all,
I received my transfer case from New Zealand and its ended up being dropped. The edge where the seal sits in has broken off. I may be able to get a replacement transfer case housing for that side but I would need to dismantle mine.

I took the 10 or so bolts off on the drivers side output shaft but there must be a circlip or something else holding the bearing or case in place. Could anyone advise on what I should do from here or if I might need any special tools?

I'm still having trouble splitting the transfer case rh housing

I removed the shaft holder and 2 circlips but its fused on and won't come off. There is a mention of a magnetic ball which supposably holds the shaft in place but I can't get it off.

Could anyone advise? Really hoping to try get it split before the new one arrives.
Thanks

Just a quick update, just needed a hand from mr Mallet and the transfer case split off no worries. Yay

Yeh was going to say it would have been fused together and a gentle tap would help you, you should be able to buy that housing as a seperate part

Thanks for the Info. After some research I was able to find a St185 transfer case housing. This way I get to use the caldina one and I know everything will be right.

Thanks again

Look in to getting it out of nz vs aus ,you may find it a lot cheaper that way, that's if you want a nice shinny new one
