If you have to remove it to clean it up just replace it with a new one then your guaranteed it wont leak should be less than $28.00

I'm pretty sure that is going to be an odd thread but don't know that for a fact.
Take the bolt out and it will slide right out then you can clean the threads up with a three cornered file. Make sure the speedo gear comes out with it.
If that doesn't work someone on the parts board should have one for a four speed.

This is on a transfer case is it not threaded into the case?

That is a different story...I don't have a clue. In that case I would have the Mods move it to the 4x4 forum...

there is a hold down bolt that you remove and that speedo bullet will slide out with the gear
