I picked up the lock ring pliers today and they worked like a charm. I got everything apart. The super pinion shaft is missing pieces out of the gear teeth, so I’m guessing the previous owner or someone worked inside it and didn’t read the manual. That looks like it wasn’t set up right. Everything just fell out when I took the lock ring off. The other one from the good case the bearing was snug on the shaft and I had to persuade it to slide out. So in this case I’m glad I went with my gut and continued to take it apart. Because I think I would have had problems in short order on the super tranny if I had just slapped some braces on it and went on my way.
