The recommended tool aligns the sides of the Reverse lever. Without that tool the Reverse lever alignment has to be by eyeball. The INTERNET, the MISinformation superhighway

Carefully turn rods to match holes in shifter,checking shifter gate to reverse with each turn. It is possibe to over adjust the reverse lever causing the gear to slid to far, thus locking up the tranny. Yep I did it. Maynard

Youll figure it out. pretty easy once you get under there. BTW the steel bushings last way longer so if you cant grab a set of them.

ALL you are doing is lining up the gate where neutral happens. If it catches a little going into the reverse gate, or won't shift smoothly from 2-3, "play" with the shifter a little gently and you CAN TELL BY THE FEEL of the shifter if the neutral gate is "off" and simply adjust one or t'other rods a turn or two. Also, BE SURE that the rectangular holes in the arms are tight on the shafts. On my old '70, I bought an aftermarket comp plus, and the Da$$med arms were actually loose on the shafts. I was forever cutting little chunks 'ol feeler gauges off using them for shims.
