John,
It is moderately easy to rebuild these boxes.  However, it is really necessary 
to
pull it at this time?  Are you having any shifting problems?
Any strange noises?

If not, then I'd recommend you leave the box alone and save your money until it 
needs it.
You can definitely do the job without any unusual tools, thought they make the 
job somewhat
easier.

-Tony

Hello all
I cleaned down my non overdrive box this weekend and also removed the 
top cover. All seemed quite good, with no chipped teeth and little 
play in the shafts. I was thinking of pulling the box down and 
rebuilding using one of the kits from T.R.F or Moss. How easy are 
these boxes to work on, and will I need any specialist tools. I 
looked at the workshop manuals and of course the Standard Triumph 
original uses all the Churchill tools. In the Haynes however, none 
are employed and a few drifts seem enough to get the job done. 
Finally are there any other items worth replacing apart from the bits 
in the kit, ie bearings, syncro rings, seals and gaskets.
