I watched a few different videos to get the idea. I followed these basics which I cobbled to gether from a few different websites:What’s the best way to support the transfer case.
First I always Disconnect Negative battery cable
1. Park your Jeep on level ground and chock wheels and then using a 1/2" or 13mm socket, loosen but do not remove the 4 bolts securing the transmission mount to your transfer case skid plate.
2. Next, slide a floor jack under the middle of your transfer skid plate and jack it up till it's pushing on the skid just a bit. I used a 2x4 in between the jack and skid plate to distribute the load better.
3. Support the front and back of the drive train on both sides of the skid plate with jack stands. Do not count on jack alone. Remove the transmission plate bolts.
4. Using a 3/4" socket (NOTE: 2003+ TJ's use metric bolts), remove the 6 bolts securing your transfer case skid plate to the frame rails.
5. Slowly lower skid plate
To reattach:
(1) Position the skid plate to the studs of the support cushion and install the nuts
Tighten the nuts to 28 N·m (21 ft. lbs.) torque.
(2) Install the skid plate bolts to the sill and
tighten to 75 N·m (55 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Remove the transmission support.
(4) Lower the vehicle.
(5) Connect negative cable to battery
Reduce torque by 20% if using anti seize
This is one of the videos, not a TJ but same concept. There are a few online:
