    well I don't know anyone with a cub tractor or a 3k winch but then it occurred to me that I have this in the drive



    id like to say this worked but at the risk of pulling the XK off the jack stands I backed it off.
    I have given up im putting it back together and taking it to the shop on Monday.
    im hanging my head in shame but life it to damn short

    it will be going over today. to make matters worse as I was working on it I shifted the t-case into neutral thinking it would be easier to turn the shaft as I tried to remove it. now it wont shift back into gear, it just tells me 4wd needs service (no****)
    thank god I have AAA

    You put the t-case in neutral or the transmission in neutral?

    I had put the t-case in neutral. it seems that once it did not register the half shaft it would not let it re-engage.
    anyhow got everything up and running again. the guy at the shop just had a bigger slide hammer than me. he used a die grinder and a cut off disc to cut a hole in the stub shaft so he could get the hook of his "frame starighening" slide hammer hooked on the inside getting a more direct straight pull on the shaft. the next thing was to hook 2 bungee cords to the shaft. this he told me was to keep tension on the stub shaft so after he hit it it would kind of set up a rocking motion until the ring clip finally collapsed and come out. he did say it took about 5 minutes of hammering before it came out. once the shaft was reinstalled the t-case connected up with no problem.
