I just did my front, rear and transfer case about three weeks ago. I had no
issues r&ring the cover on the front. To add oil up front I had made up a rig
that consisted of about 4 feet of tranny hose with a funnel on on end. You just
snake the line down from above the radiator and into the fill hole and add your
fluid from above. You will spill a little because the line will be full when
you see it coming out the fill hole on the cover, just remember to keep the
drain pan under it.
The transfer case is cake with the truck on ramps. Another tool that helps with
these jobs is a cap that screws onto oil bottles that has a push/pull valve and
a length of hose. Lets you get the bottle positioned upside down above the fill
hole without spilling any fluid. The one I got came with several adapters to
fit all the common size oil bottle threads. I think I ran across it at Autozone
a few years back.
