Took one off a vitara other day sure it be similar. Remove cover that holds gaitter either 4 or 6 bolts. Then there be two bolts holding it to box one front one back. Remove these then pop it out

There is a filler hole on the transfer box to check and top up oil.
Anyway. To remove the shifter you need to take off the little rubber boot and that reveals a bayonet fitted clip on the lever shaft. Push it down and turn it and the lever will pop out.
