J-72 Synchronizing Spring and Thrust Washer Tool
To disassemble the transmission, it is necessary to remove the synchronizing spring and the second speed thrust washer lock ring, and also to replace them when reassembling the transmission. The fingers are forged from chrome steel, machined very thin at one end to fit under spring and washer. The fingers extend with a slight outward bend so that, when the outer ring is pulled towards end of fingers, the fingers will rock at holder ring (near thin portion of fingers), causing synchronizing spring or lock ring to open up so it can easily be removed or replaced. |

J-932 Synchronizing Ring Retaining Spring Remover and Replacer
A small milled slot in the transmission gear permits the pointed nose of pliers to be inserted and fitted in the cone retainer spring gap. Very little pressure is required on the plier handles to open the spring, but care is required in fitting the end of the pliers into the spring gap for the spreading operation. A very small gripping or locating lug at the end of the pliers helps keep the spring centered on the pliers while the spring is being expanded. |

J-938 Transmission Main Shaft Remover and Replacer
The transmission main shaft must be forced straight in or out when removing and replacing. The end of the main shaft is tapped for universal joint holding screw. To install the tool, turn the small "T" handle that operates the internal shaft with the small threaded end, screwing into the end of the main shaft. Bolt the arm castings to the joint housing on the end of transmission. By turning the large nut with cross handle to the right and holding the small "T" handle to prevent the screw from backing out, the transmission shaft is forced back out of place. The small "T" handle operating screw can then be turned, removing the end of the tool from the shaft. To replace the shaft, turn the threaded end of the tool in the shaft. Bolt the arm casting to the joint housing and turn the large nut with cross handle to the left. This feeds the large sleeve, which in turn holds the small inside shaft, forcing the transmission main shaft back into position. |

K-386 Countershaft Assembly Tool
To remove and replace the second speed main shaft gear, it is necessary that the countershaft cluster gear be dropped down into the transmission case and clear the opening in the case, permitting passage of the second speed gear. This tool is made long enough to extend through the case and rest on the two small diameters, permitting the gear to drop to a lowered position. The tool is made with tapered portions extending at each small diameter—these are for centering and raising the two bronze thrust washers at the ends of the gear.
For replacement of the countershaft, tap the gear into place, at the same time pushing the tool ahead of it. Not only does the tool make a difficult operation easy, it prevents damage to the thrust washers, which is almost impossible without the use of this production line tool. |

Take the riveting tool and flare the rivets, snugly, locking the bearing in place. Place the sleeve, which is part of the tool, into the center hole of the riveting fixture. Lay the bearing assembly on this sleeve, which will act as a solid support, while you use a copper hammer to tap the shaft down into the bearing. |
