P38A Transfer box removal

I have a transfer box in the garage and the handbrake assembly I could photograph tomorrow, maybe, everything is such an effort at the moment.

No rush. I haven't got time to do it at the moment anyway and I need the car. I'm just lining the job up so when a gap appears in my schedule I can swap it over. I'll have the recon one ready to peruse anyway. I've had the drum off before on an auto but just cannot remember what I did! No doubt it'll all come flooding bad with a cold sweat once I get under there.
 
Rermove propshaft,and thecountersunk screw holding the brake drum, remove drum and you will see four bolts that hold the back plate in position,remove these and the back plate will swing out of the way with the cable still attached

It is OK, I'm learning the funny hand-shake and he tapped me on each shoulder with a large wrench. I just need the final Land Rover ceremony where I get a brummie spanner in the knackers and then I'll pass out as a full blown spanner monkey.
 
Refurbed box ordered from Ashcrofts. Anything else I need to replace in there while I am doing it? Guessing there is a gasket of some sort between the the transfer box and main box? I seem to remember a seal at the back of the handbrake drum somewhere, unless my memory is playing up again. That'll be on the output shaft, I guess. Damn my memory is getting bad.
 
No, mate, I don't. I have several trolley jacks. It does look a useful bit of kit. I'll put it on my watch list as Enfield isn't so far away from me.

That's what I thought and for that money worth a go even if you only ever use it once worth every penny, fortunately I can borrow one any time or else I would be going for it.

Just seen this. Might be a cost effective solution: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Transmis...015010?hash=item51c9dc6462:g:ySYAAOSwxYxUrbMz

I'll have to get myself fit again. I used to be able to pick most of this stuff up. I just don't have time to tab over hills with bricks on my back anymore: all I seem to do is work and fix things most of the time.
 
never used it, used a trolley Jack when the clutch roll pins went, it was fun balancing the t/box.the time before that was when the clutch went in France managed it without a Jack, never again that t/box weighs 112 lbs.
