FM-146 1991 Ranger Transmission output seal replace?

[Fairlaniac]

I'm pretty certain the output seal on my FM-146 is shot as I have a nice little gear oil spot on the driveway each time I park the truck. I don't recall what it looks like inside the output end of the trans. What is involved with replacing the output seal on a trans with transfer case? I seem to recall the output shaft hangs out some distance past the seal and you cannot pry the seal out like a 2wd. Is this a job for a slide hammer? I tried searching the forums but no exact hits with pictures to my question.

Thanks,

Here is a diagram of the FM-146 extension housing. Does anyone know how to get the seal out? Or has anyone ever removed one?
