Not sure if this helps
But TJ drilled and tapped his and installed a grease zert in there.
Not sure if that would work here or not.
I was just perusing through reading this post and it reminded me of that.
His pics are not in there but I have a copy of the pic somewhere.

And now I scroll up and see all other other pics here with zerts-------------- lol
O-well

With a good cleaning of the large bolt and a nice coat of lithium grease I don't see the need for drilling/tapping for grease fittings? Not saying it isn't a good idea -but it might be overkill, considering it took 18 years for it to seize up the first time, and that is mostly my fault, as last year we had a mild winter and I didn't put the truck into 4wd a single time.

Remove the shifter from the t-case and put in in a vise. Lube the bolt where it is suppose to pivot. Keep lubing it and try moving it. A lil at a time. DO NOT BRAKE IT. Ford gets over 300 for that stupid cast aluminum piece. Used ones go for 100+. After you get it moving, remove the bolt and wire wheel it. Then take a plumbers round wire brush and do the inside of the aluminum. I drilled and tapped mine and put a grease fitting in. or you can just put some anti seize or grease on and put back together. I also did a grease fitting on the vertical shaft too

Can anybody tell me the part number for these or where to get them?
