PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a front drive axis support structure of a transfer wherein the breakage of the transfer case is prevented, by reducing the load of a sleeve yoke pushing a front-drive axis rearward through a bearing in a head-on collision. SOLUTION: A front-wheel drive axis 8 of a transfer is rotatably supported with respect to a transfer case 16 by front and back bearings 17, 18. A sleeve yoke 15 provided at a rear end of a front propeller shaft is spline fit with a front end of the front-wheel drive axis 8. Further, a rear end 15a of the sleeve yoke 15 is placed before a front side bearing 17. A race 20 which supports a backward side of an inner ring of the bearing 17 and which is removable rearward by a predetermined load or more is press fit to a press fit portion 8c of a front-wheel drive axis 8 in which the inner ring of the front side bearing 17 is press fit. On a portion behind the press fit portion 8c, a release portion 8e with removal race 20 is provided.
