99 ford explorer grinds when put in reverse & won't go back, only forward. Transfer case is bad. Can I just pull a fuse or disconnect it?

Yer burnt. You need a new tranny.

It will be liable to break up if you drive it and pieces of transmission will join you in the cab at high speed

Broken parts are not to be argued with.

No fuse will help that. You can remove the front driveshaft but if the t-case has a problem you'll still have a problem. Rear driveshaft is still turning the output shaft on the transmission. So either its in the t-case or the transmission. Find local shop at ATRA.COM for more help
