For an experienced guy this is not really an 8-hour job but aside from the usual hand tools and a stout rattle-gun, you need a big vise, a shop press, a bunch of pinion-bearing shims, a depth micrometer, a dial indicator, an inch-pound torque wrench, a small brush, some hi-spot blue and the knowledge of what to do with them. It's not really a job for a newbie. I've done a bunch of them and consider myself lucky that only one of them howled. In my paid wrenching days, it was the senior guys with master ratings that did unit repair on the bench. The apprentices laid under the trucks and pulled the gearboxes and third members and got all dirty.
