They aren't that difficult to rebuild, as I did mine last year. You may
need one special tool for a nut on the input? shaft, which is like the
output shaft nut, only bigger. I made one for mine out of a piece of
pipe. I think it came off without it, but I made the tool so I could put
it on tight, as it is hard to get a chisel in there to tighten it by the
unapproved method. On the other hand, you would also have a lower low
range with a suffix D tranny.
