Yours and the tech. manual have been hand in hand every evening as I wade through this stuff. What you are seeing here are the bits I can't figure out from either source. I'm missing a lot of the background knowledge that you guys have for working on this kind of stuff and it shows.

What I'm finding out is a lot of what I'm missing are tools. I'm on puller/press #4 and drift #1 soon to be Drifts #2 & #3. I also had to borrow a mini sledge hammer from a friend. Need to get one of those too..

Sadly its Sunday, meaning I can't buy any more tools, so I'm kinda' stopped for the day. I need something to press on the trunnion bearings without destroying them. I got one brass one installed by heating it to 350 Deg. then pounding it on. It worked, but I don't want to try that again.

P.S. Thanks for the writeup! Really its one of the best sources I've got!
