Alright, all set! Thanks, everyone for the advice. Putting it in Neutral and rotating the shaft in the right direction got me to 2WD.
Then, with respect to the plug- there is s center locking collar, a little red plastic bushing that surrounds the center ground terminal and locks all of them in place. Pop out the red plastic bushing, use a pick to hold back the clips that hold in the individual terminals, and the wires for the ground and the sensor can be pulled back out of the plug and reinserted in the one on the new motor. New motor was $100, not $300, thanks Rockauto. Put some spark plug release grease on the outside of the plug because I had a heckuva time separating it, and to add water resistance, and blasted the connections with electric component cleaner for good measure. Replaced the rusted bolts that I had to use a pipewrench on, and it seems good to go. Haven't tried to put it into 4x4 yet, but now that I know the transfer case isn't hosed, I think it's likely to be fine. Thanks again for the assist.
