You will need a 27mm socket to fit the flange nut and preferably a breakover bar for additional leverage. They can be really hard to get started turning because the whole output flange will turn even with it in gear. I put mine in 4WD and wedged a small prybar in between the ujoint and flange on the front output shaft to keep the rear flange from turning. Once it breaks loose it will be a breeze.

 

if you use an impact gun it will zip right off

 

when you get that tool , get me one please

 

This homemade tool works GREAT!
On one of my T-cases I had to heat the flange to get
it off the shaft. realy stuck.....

AH! Don't use an impact gun on your tcase drivceshaft flanges. This would not be a healthy thing for the gears inside. Basically the gears would be the parts taking the brunt of the rapid repetitive slamming of the impact. You might end up chipping a gear tooth.

Optimally, you should use a long torque wrench and do a slow controlled pull on the nut after you have undimpled the flange.
