I've never done a Navara transfer box removal before, but in theory, it should just slide off. The transfer box oil is separate from the gearbox oil.

Yip-they slide off
Yip- it'll leak gearbox oil if ya don't drain it as ya removing the seal off the shaft it seals on.
A Note- they are heavy and the weight will make em turn-therefore set up a couple of adjustable axle stands BEFORE ya undo it- then refitting is easier.(Also while out a new rear seal is advisable-and lube the seal with rubber grease or oil-or vaseline on it's lips before reassembly-K

The gearbox oil is separate from transfer box, but if my memory is correct, one of them will leak out once the transfer box is removed but I can't remember which. They come apart easily once bolts are removed.

Been through that with a D21, had to drop the torsion bars out. Bastard creation of a thing.
