Taking out the transfer case from a 2005 Toyota Highlander can be quite challenging, as it's a task best suited for experienced mechanics or individuals with a high level of confidence in their automotive repair abilities. Amateurs attempting this job may encounter various complications and end up creating more problems. To remove the transfer case, you'll need to elevate your Highlander significantly, with 10-inch ramps being the suggested option. Additionally, you'll have to lower the cradle and extract the engine/transmission unit. Removing the CV axles from the transfer case adds to the complexity of the task. If you are determined to tackle this task on your own, you can search for tutorials on YouTube; however, it is strongly recommended to invest a bit more and have it professionally done.
