You need a press to press the drive shaft out of the gear carrier in order
to replace the roller bearing there. When I rebuilt them, we scribed where
the shift forks sat on the shift rods before we removed them and put them
back in the same place. This usually works unless there is a lot of slop in
the roller or needle bearing in the carrier or the pinion bearing and you
replace them.
