The transfer case tailshaft seal started leaking on my ’99 at 150k. I replaced the seal and driveshaft yoke, but it still leaked. It wasn’t too bad, so I let it go. I have 310k on it now and it’s leaking pretty good so I figure it’s time to take care of it. I’m thinking the tailshaft bushing needs to be replaced. The GM manual covers the seal replacement, but not the bushing. Is it an easy job? The bushing is only $10, but the tailshaft housing is $500, so I’d really like to replace just the bushing and not damage the housing. What’s involved? Interference fit bushing? Heat the housing with a hot air gun and cool the bushing in the freezer? I’ve got a pretty good selection of seal and bushing drivers. Any other special tools required? Thanks!
