transfer case needle output needle bearing removal

[fixkick]

hello, and welcome to the forum.
The transfer case work is the most difficult with no tools.
most times its best to just buy a used box. and not rebuilt ours, due to the fact, most used boxes were never used at all and are perfect.
(Canada mostly excepted.)
down here most are unused. for sure in snow free states.
2nd reason , rebuild kit parts price, are more than a used box.... a super compelling reason, if ever.
im not sure what parts are bad, or the job, what job is being done,? new chain, or? just exactly what?
first look at my pages.
here is the first.
there are 3 shafts, 1 input and 2 output, 1 front input and 1 rear and one output front to front axle.
all three can fail.
my guess is the front shaft, bearings, marked, #43.
did you know there are free books (official) on all suzuki transmission work, full instructions on dismantle, (this one is tricky)
here is a contribributors set of photos and my horsed up, drawing, blk/red/blue.

i think the box can only be dismantled in one specific order, not cheats. me thinks

How does one go about removing the needle bearings from the front output of the transfer case of a 97 tracker.
It is directly behind the seal and runs on the driveshaft collar.

I would like to be able to remove it without wrecking it. but if that is not possible any easy methods and part numbers would be appreciated.
I do not need to know how to spit the case or remove the output shaft assembly just the needle bearings that are left in the case once that is done. Installation insights also welcome.

Also if anyone has a reference to shimming the bearings from the factory manual I might need that as well.

Thanks,
Scott
