Don't know if anyone here has done this.
The key is having the right tools, tech data, and a willingness to follow the tech data.
There are lots of things to read and pay attention to. For example:
Who would have suspected this about snap rings...
NOTE: All snap rings are select fit from the factory, and must be installed in their original location.
This is from part of the assembly instructions:
CAUTION: A bearing heater is used to assemble first gear thrust washer (1) and reverse gear bearing race (2). Use only a bearing heater/hot plate and follow manufacture's instructions. Heat components to 100 - 177 Celsius (212° Min - 350° Max Fahrenheit). Never use an open flame to heat components. Never leave components on heater for an extended amount of time. If component is discolored after heating, the component has been overheated and must not be used. Failure to follow these instructions will result in component damage.
