Where do you think the grease came from in that last photo? Do you have a wider shot of this showing the entire case opening?
As someone with a 2720 I really appreciate these photos.

I always wondered why I never seen grease coming out somewhere when I did the linkage, now I know
I’ll clean it up and get more pictures.

I'll bet mine is the same because there is that one fitting under the right floor board where you never see grease come out. One time I pumped extra grease in there in an attempt to have it appear and still nothing. Now I know where all the grease is sitting. Hopefully it cannot cause any trouble in there.

It doesn’t seem to be a problem, I pulled out maybe 1.5 or 2 tubes of grease.
Thank you for the photos. Yep... 1 to 2 tubes of grease seems about right. Once it is all cleaned out, can you tell which zerk it comes from and why?

I’m still hard at it. I had a hard time getting the hi and low range shifter off the shaft, I broke the 2 jaw puller and ended up taking a hand grinder and carefully cut as far as I could then take a small chisel to spread it just a little. I played with that thing 4 hours.

Wow... I can only imagine what this repair would cost at the dealer. And all for a simple 4WD lever detent.
