Default brake problem need help

I was getting ready to run again and noticed my disk brake separated from my drive shaft cup. Also I only have front wheels turning the gear box. How do I get the disk back on the cup and have 4 wheel drive again?

check it shaft cup and make sure it is tight i had the same problem with mine intill i took the spur assm.. out and noticed it was loose so it just sat there and spin w/o turn the wheels, and for the brake while u have the tranny housiing out u should be able to take the brakes apart and slide the rotor back on then install the brake back on.. pictures would help

the simplest fix and most often the problem of loosing front or rear wheel drive is that one of the many drive cup grub screws has come loose. make sure you use loctite on them
