Is it safe to just remove this and do a direct replacement of the lever, without any further dis-assembly of the transfer case?

Thanks... Here's a diagram from a Jeep forum that will give you a
better idea of what I'm talking about:
What I lost is the rubber grommet that sits in the range lever where the
linkage rod attaches. I've ordered a replacement range lever with the
grommet, so by far the easiest approach (as long as there is no
collateral damage) is to take off the existing range lever and replace
with the new one. The FSM instructions for removing/re-installing the
range lever are buried in the disassembly instructions amidst all sorts
of stuff that requires special tools, which is why I ask. I don't want
to remove that locknut only to find that whatever it is attached to just
falls off onto the inside of the case.
Here's hoping my next post isn't about rebuilding my transfer case :-)
