You MIGHT be able to swap to a manual 1354 transfer case and put the t case in N for flat towing
Then nothing in front of the t case is spinning
OR
You can also put the E shift 1354 T case in Neutral but you have to remove the shift motor first and turn the knob with pliers or a spare t case shift motor plastic gear.
(There is a N pos on the e shift t case....but the shift motor will not reach it)
With the BW1354 t case in N the truck/engine/trans has no idea if its rolling or not................seems to be a much more simple solution
I use dewalt impact (20V 1100 ft lbs breakaway force) with a 8" 1/2" wobbly extension and 12 point 12mm socket...I can remove the rear d shaft with that tool quickly....
the front d shaft uses a 1/4" drive 8mm and 10-12" extension w a torx 30 at the U joint I used small Dewalt impact for those
driveshafts come put quickly
Now putting them back in takes more time.
I always clean the threads and re apply loc tite, also I use hand tools to re install, not impacts
