rebuild tools questions t56 In this write up I am reading, they mention gear pullers and a countershaft end play tool and dial indicator and a feeler gauge.
What ones did you guys use andwhere can I get these. I tried checking summit and sears and it doesnt look like the right stuff to me from these pics.
Any help would be appreciated

try harbor frieght or northern tools if you want to fabricate your own puller and get the other tools you will need;
but the only other puller i used to get the job done was a snap-on puller... I borrowed it so i dont remember the part number

When I changed my bearings I was using a 20-ton press and even that was tough. So if your bearings look good let them be. 
Harborfreight and northern tools don't fabricate tools for you; just to purchase the 3-jaw puller then get some steel straps and drill holes in them to get the distance you need.

I guess I could have but didn't lol...mine was real solid, no movement side to side or up and down.
But the only real way to find out if it is within specs is to check the endplay of the mainshaft and countershaft.

Yea, read that it was helpful to have the tool, but damn no one has the tool.. and a google search comes up empty.
Since this will be my first shot at a rebuild of any tranny of any sort I kinda feel it might help to have it.. hehe call me crazy
