My old Saginaw 4 is starting to howl a bit, so I'm figuring on biting the bullet and giving it a rebuild.

The rebuild manual is on its way, and I'm going to go through the process and get together the assemblage of everything I need before I start, lock ring pliers, pipes to dislodge seals, etc. It's been sloppin gear oil around pretty profusely, so it needs cleaned.

So here I ask, any sage advice before I get started? There's lots of rebuild kits, and I've been looking especially close at D&L's. Anyone have another kit suggestion? Any tips from past experience? Amusing stories?
