You can't just pull it and replace it, because the shift forks need to
be adjusted so the gears engage completely, with no load on the forks
after it is in each gear. And this has to be done as it would be in
actual use. There are some expensive fixturing, that simulates the case
but gives access to the fork adjustments, and gives you the ability to
turn the trans by hand while doing this.
