I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to pull it again ![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Internally it was in good shape, except for the huge strings of black RTV everywhere and what look like pieces of a snap ring that was about 1" diameter stuck to the magnet. I have no idea where that might have come from, since there are no broken snap rings. Someone may have rebuilt it once before...
Anyway I need better snap-ring and duckbill pliers than I have. It was a struggle getting some of the snap rings off, especially the one recessed into the input. Likewise the needle bearing pressed into one of the case halves. Some careful work with a sharp chisel got that loose. I also welded a piece of rod to the end of the oil pump arm, since it was well on its way to eating through the case.
So I put it back together... And discovered an extra snap ring on the workbench.
Naturally it was the one that I had the hardest time getting out. Luckily the kit had an extra oil seal because I had to remove the new one to get to the snap ring groove.
I cleaned the case halves carefully and used Hylomar Blue. Bolted it all together and discovered that there was no power to the front output yoke in any shifter position
although the high/low range did work. All my careful head-scratching to decide which way to put the dog collar on the shaft, and I still managed to get it backwards! I pulled the case apart again and called it a night.
