Transfer case replacement

Hey guys I'm getting ready to replace the transfer case on my 2004 Lexus GX470. What are some things I should watch out in for in the process as I remove and install a new transfer case?

As long as you aren't replacing the actuator shaft internal to the transfer case, it should be a straightforward "bolt it up" affair.
Refill with 75W90 gear oil. IIRC it takes almost 2 bottles.
