Been out pulling wood with the old 'Jack, '66 225. She does pretty good, although need some rear chains. Where I am in western Maine we still have nearly 2' of snow in the woods. Solid inch of crust on top which one can almost walk on top of... well, My dad can, I am a bit stouter so I typically punch threw. ;). Mealy snow underneath makes my drive line shudder which I am real careful about don't want a broken planetary. 

Anyhow, that was a long winded intro...  been noticing a drip from my transfer case. I believe it's the bottom shaft, still ciphering that out. It seems like i could change that seal in place. Pull the drive shaft, the universal yoke, and then the seal housing.  Anyone have experience with that?

Yes you can. I think you can even leave the seal housing in place. The gasket for them is required for spacing. I bet you need a speedi sleeve as well as the seal.

As Neilo says speedy sleeve and new seal

Thanks for the advice. Seems pretty straightforward, Davco or Harolds I guess could sell a speedy sleeve?  Never messed with one of them.

My mud season list is growing pretty darn long!

Take the yoke in to get the properly size the speedy sleeve. Its job is to create a smooth sealing surface for the new seal.
