4W drive won't engage.

I don't use my 4W drive often and try to engage it twice a year just to keep everything running. Well yesturday I noticed that the 4W shifter moves around as if it is not attached. I looked down under the boot and it seems as if the rod that extends down has two screws in it and one is missing. The shifter arm pivots at this point instead of pivoting from the end point of the rod. Everything else with the system looks fine. I was wondering if these are special screws with bolts and is it something I can do myself or should I get a mechanic to take a go at it.

No special bolts required, you can fix it yourself.
