Hello,

You will have to remove the transfer case with the transmission.
After that taking off the transfer case if fairy straight forward form the transmission.

I have attached the transfer case removal from the transmission as well as dissemble and re-assembly.
Also included the torque specifications.

Yes, you will have to drop the transmission. You might not have enough space or not be able to get to all the bolts that mounts the transfer case to the transmission.
