Changing the chain is a no brainer -- just open up both case halves and its right there. But the bearings are a little bit more involved because they are pressed into the magnesium housing.ok I took it to another shop and he did a better job at testing it, he took it for a test drive and did some checks and he said its most likely the bearing and the chain in the transfer case and he said it would cost me $1000 to rebuilt the transfer case Is it hard to change those parts myself?
If all you can spare is a few hundred, I would advise going towards a manual transfer case.
