Yes you will need a special tool that cost about 5-10 dollars at autozone. Looks like a plastic washer type deal or you can get the metal sicssor type. I like the plastic ones because there much easier to use.
Warmonger, what did you use to pull the half shaft out of the trans? Last time I replaced my trans it was a biatch to get out and also to you reuse your clips on the ends of the half shafts? One more thing on the shifter cables I popped the retainer out and they came right off. Or I think they might be vice versa were they are locked when there popped out and unlocked when pushed out.I will haaave to look again. I think I might drop my trans again because of a to agressive clutch. Might have to replace it with one of those new specs.
