Question
How do i disengage the 4 wheel drive on my 1996 chevy blazer

Answer
Donna,

As I rarely drive a Chevy, I am not positive what transfer case you have, but I am assuming that it is shifted manually.  

If it is a manually operated transfer case, you should have a gear shift on the floor boards with a diagram of the shift pattern on the knob, or an indicator next to the transfer case gear shift.  

If it is stuck in low range, you may need to drive backwards for 5-10 feet or so, stop, then try to shift it back into high range, and then into 2 wheel drive.  

If it is an automatic transmission, it needs to be shifted with the transmission in neutral.  When doing this, sometimes it helps to be rolling slightly (not more than a slow crawl.)  This is primarily when going into or out of low range.  You do this by slowing down to a crawl, slide the transmission into neutral, then shift the transfer case into high range, and then into 2-wheel drive.

With a stick shift, you simply stop, put in the clutch and shift into high range then 2-wheel drive.  When shifting, it should be done with a fairly rapid and solid shift.  If you shift too slowly, sometimes it will hang up and can be very hard to shift.

For high range, you should be able to shift it in and out of 4-wheel drive while moving.
