Finally going to mess with this think some tonight when I get home.  I got side tracked last week with an impromptu brake issue....which I only got half fixed, but that's a different story.  Also, I ordered new driveshaft bolts from the stealer and when I went to pick them up yesterday and guy had gone back and changed the order to match the 8mm old style for some reason.  The paperwork looked like he forgot to order the lock washers and then looked back at my account realized past records show I have an 80 and then changed my request from the later 10mm to the older the 8mm style....needless to say I'm still waiting, but in the meantime I can change t-case grease, swap t-case flange and drill out diff flange......

....I'll post some pics tomorrow of the drilling and comment on how it went for a weekend warrior tech......wish i had those damn bolts to put the holes as I drilled them.  Drilling holes at size X....10.08mm (shaft side is about 10.3-10.5 based on noname brand caliper)

can anyone confirm that 90ft-lb on the t-case flange stake nut for me?.....the dealer did at least get me the right stake nut
