Front driveline service after NV3550 Mod

[blubuckaroo]

I installed a NV3550 kit a few years back, and noticed something now when servicing the front driveline. I typically pull the drivelines out so I can grease them properly. The bolts and grease fittings are just about completely covered by the transfer case/transmission cross member.
I may end up putting a jack under the tranny so I can remove the cross member. All this just to grease the double cardan joint.
Has anyone else run into this?
It's good I don't use 4WD much.?:?

I have the same issue but can remove the shifter boot that covers the hole in the tunnel to get access to the bolts.

It's really not that difficult to remove the cross member.
But, next time I rebuild the double cardan, I'll try to reverse the grease fittings to access them from the front.

Good idea - I'll try to remember it - LOL
