Actually, the driveshaft stuff is relevant. The next question I was going to ask was:
Before you remove the t-case, do you unbolt the front driveshaft from the t-case and move it out of the way, then unbolt the rear driveshaft from the diff and slide it off?
I had previously assumed that you had to unbolt the rear driveshaft from the t-case (like the front) but it seems like that's not the case.
Yes, unbolt the front shaft from the t-case at the flange. Unbolt the rear shaft from the diff flange, and the other end of the shaft will slide right out of the t-case. Someone here changed their driveshaft within the last few weeks and there are pictures. http://www.xterraownersclub.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=2;t=000581 http://hxoc.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1151
