Rebuild kit is on the way from Jeff's Bronco Graveyard. Wasn't terribly expensive at $57.25, but hope the bearings aren't made in China.
I'll finish cleaning up the pieces and parts today and plan to reassemble next weekend.

I definitely recommend the oil pump mod! When I rebuilt mine the keeper arm had worn about 60% through the rib in the case. I also had to get a new planetary since mine had too much play. Definitely let us know how yours goes!

Hey, sounds like you got everything rolling along...
Didja look closely at the forks ? They have molded plastic or replaceable inserts...I can't remember...but it would be good to carefully check them out to see if the plastic is brittle. Just tryin' to be helpful.

I have new inserts on the way with my kit from Jeffs Bronco Graveyard. One of them was broken.

I wasn't aware that you needed special fluid for a manual style transfer case. I thought they just take ATF?

I use Mercon LV. Supposedly Mercon V doesn’t make the TCs happy. Not entirely onboard with that I think the BW1356 got caught up in a broad brushstroke but it’s not a big deal to use LV in the TC.

The 1356 originally took mercon fluid, but when that got phased out there was something in the later mercon generations that was causing the 1356s to grenade themselves. Ford came out with a special fluid, but now that has been phased out as well and Mercon LV is the recommended fluid from what I can gather. You can read old forum posts from when all of this was happening, Ford had to replace a bunch of TCs on their own dime after they self-destructed.

I think a lot of the universal ATFs are good to go. I know for sure you want to avoid Mercon V fluid though.
