With 80K miles on my original box, I figure this would be a good project to prepare for.

Has anyone done a rebuild in their home garage?

I am aware of the need of some special tools (heavy press / pullers), but was thinking of doing as much of the work / preparations myself, before resorting to a specialist for the difficult stuff.

Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Remember the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Lots of these gearboxes go for many more miles than yours has on it. Is there a specific issue or problem that you have with yours that would make you consider a rebuild?

My pinion bearing might be on its way out...

I had my gearbox rebuilt by Gbox (www.gboxweb.com) a couple of years ago. They did a perfect job. If you look at their website, you'll notice that it's not just about special tools, you also need to measure pretty much everything to find out what's within specs and what must be replaced. I'd rarely hire someone to do maintenance and repairs for my cars, but in this situation these guys have tooling, knowledge and experience that are beyond my reach and therefore justify the extra $$$.
