Transfer case take out

Have any of you guys fabbed a fixture or jig to assist in a transfer case removal with a floor jack? Not that long ago this would have been manhandled out but those days are past. Thanks '97 F250 BW 1356

I remember I had a hole in plate on the floor jack
I screwed together a piece of plywood with 2 different levels of 2x 4 and bolted that to said hole on jack.
mucked around with it for a bit until I got it to sit nicely against bottom of t case.
unbolted T case and lowered away.

The 1356 is SUPER light weight. East to handle with your hands.

That is going to be some jig/fixture so the floor jack isn’t maxed out. A 3/4T truck isn’t exactly close to the ground. I’m curious to see what you come up with.

It's not a t-case but here is a pic of the trans removal adaper I made and I have a couple suggestions for doing this, be sure the adapter is securely fastened to the jack.. not just perched on the plate, and put a strap around the trans/t-case so it doesn't roll off when you move the jack.
