not without splitting the case.
be simpler to swap another t case in.

any idea if the ratios and fitments are different in a 16 valve and an 8 valve transfer box, mine is an 8 v but i think i may be able to get a 16 v box quite easily

they are all the same.

have you jacked the front of the car up and tried to turn the prop with the hubs locked and the t case in 2wd.
if the wheels turn its a t case problem, if they dont its  a diff problem.
