main thing on the snap rings is to be sure to install them with the flat  
side out. Look at them and you can see that they hacve a rounded side from 
the  stamping process, If put in backwards they can pop out, I have seen this  
happen.  also you dont have to take both sides all the way apart . just the 
 side oppisite of the ring gear,IIRC it is on the same side as the starter, 
I  would inspect the fuilcum plates as they are known for wearing out.

Once you  get the rubber boots off and the hemispherical bells removed, 
you will  need a large snap ring plier for removing the snap rings. I 
have a larger  sized quality brand like proto or crescent needle nose 
plier with the tips  slightly bent that sort of works. Its quite the 
job to get those buggers  out. Be careful, easy to bark a nuckle or 
worse in the process. Once the  snap ring is removed, then all the axle 
and plates and parts almost fall  out. To reinstall the pieces, grease 
them with moly grease or other nice  similar sticky stuff to hold them 
in place as you insert the axles.  Installing the snap rings is no 
easier than the removal,  sadly.

Best of luck. Let us know how it turns out!

And after all the things I  did for her/him.



Anyway, I was heading to work and thought I'd  drive my old bus . so I 
could
get it to Krown today. got to the top of  my small hill and something
exploded . I think my transmission locked up .  clutch still works so I 
was
able to get into neutral and roll back down  the hill into my driveway 
.



I do have a rebuilt  transmission I want to install . Dougie Dee did it 
for
me maybe a year  or so ago . anyway, my question.



How do you remove the axles  (they are axles right?) from the side of 
the
transmission. I've rebuilt  redux boxes a couple times but I've never 
taken
the axles  off.



And - I'm going to be reinstalling the transmission that  originally 
came
with my 60 - is there anyway of knowing how it will  perform with a 
1500 or
1600 vs. the 1200 it was originally paired  with.
