203 help

[bax]

I am getting ready to take the range box apart from the chain housing. I looked at an exploded view of the 203. It appears that I can just unbolt the two cases from one another and pull it apart. Am I correct or is there a retaining ring in there? Any help or instructions would be nice.
Thanks
Bax

wildhorses has some pdf instruction on the 203 doubler kit they offer not sure if it helps i also found this..http://www.northwestfab.com/203-205adaptorinstall.html

the shifter linkage rod will hold them together if not disconnected. other than that the should separate after unbolted if I remember correctly- its been a while

The rod does not look to be that big so can I cut it? No need to re use it.

Just cut it if your just using the range box. much easier than trying to get it out.

As someone else said just cut the link. That's how we've done it.

bolt cutters work great. make sure you take the gear box apart and inspect the big gear and shaft. i tore several apart and alot had the center shaft over heated.

I don't know why I did not think to ask you! Total brain fade I guess. One quick PM and I would of had it without bothering everyone.


Thanks everyone, I got it all done this afternoon. No problem
