Which picture you looking at . At first thought I took out the whole pilot bearing when I took out the inner part so I still got to pull the whole Bearing out and I'm not sure I'm pretty sure everything is stock

Okay so I got everything put back in for the most part no I'm left with the transfer case shifter and I believe the inner part of the bushing that is on the inner part of the sleeve fell apart and crumbled due to wear now it's just a bowl and it has extra space around it does anyone know what I should get for it and replacement ???

If I recall, there's a kind of nipple that holds the transfer case shifters to the links. That parts' alright and it holds in place?
If it's just the middle contact part of a bushing, I use an aluminum coke can to make replacements.
Trim to width, ex. 3/8 and cut a long strip, wrap turns around a smaller diameter pin and trim by trial and error to the correct wall size. Usually a couple turns.
My clutch rod has a beer can bushing, works great and keeps slop /hardened metal on metal contact from egging out holes. My clutch rod is perfect circle and no slop/clean operation with the coke can bushing. I seen some eggs in pics online without a bushing. Cost is free and takes 7 min 35 seconds.
not really necessary, but if you'd like lube, grind up a pencil lead and smear the graphite on the bushing, again don't need to.. And don't get the pencil lead on clothes /fabric.
They last a long time, even with no grease, and next time you take it apart, just replace it if it shows signs of wear.

Pencil lead is also graphite so I see as to why it makes a great lubricant

So heeehe another question I got everything put back together I crank on it an realized even when the truck was off I couldn't shift I know hydraulic can be the cause with the truck running but off it Should shift. I did remove the top of the transmission to look an inspection the inside but when I put it back on it was in gear cause it wouldn't go back on any other way except 3rd I think not sure if I lined the gears up incorrect but it bolted up and went in smooth. So my question is since I did all that with the tranny out do I have to take the tranny out again to install it correctly?? Cause I tried taking it off again and couldn't I used the puddy like build a gasket that comes in a tube and not sure if it just is being stubborn due to using the buildagasket?
