Re:
Should be fairly easily done Kev if your pretty good on the tools. By what your description says it is very similar to a diff seal being replaced on a live axle.
Can you throw a breakdown pic up so I can have a look at the internals please.

Re:
Looks pretty straight forward Kev.
The flange is the only think you really need to take off as the seal is mounted to it.
The only drama you might have is separating the pinion from the flange.

Re: Transfer Case Rear Seal Replacement ?
I think that is why they suggest to remove the whole pinion assy and then press the pinion out from the flange.
By the looks of it if the nut holding the flange on is screwed onto the end of the pinion then the flange should come off ok...just not sure about the colapsable spacer

Re:
I think the collapsible spacer is just another name for a crush sleeve. If you mark the pinion nut before removing it and count the revolutions then just replace with the same amount of turns so it would be the same as before.

Re: Transfer Case Rear Seal Replacement ?
Well the noise is still there and a "new oil" smell after a drive has developed so it seems like both the seal and the bearing will need replacement...so it's off to Nissan for some parts and then see a friendly mechanic to help me with the bearing replacement I think.

Re:
The bearing wouldn't be hard to replace Kev, you can use a grinder to cut it off then use a tube socket the same size as the bearing to put it in place on the pinion.
Just start on a Friday so if you need to visit a mechanic you can on a Saturday.
Good luck.

Re:
Looks like the mount can be removed Kev, just a matter of finding a machine shop to press out the old mount and press in the new one.
Always the way when you think you have only one thing to do.
