The other tool aside from the press arbor that lets one get the snap ring pliers in and out is a splined shaft to keep the planetary in alingment so the output of trans will easily slide in , you can improvise that, I guess 
John is so right as I forgot about that but you need the splined shaft to put down in the O/D unit to line up the splines. Believe me I have not seem anyone get it back on without using the tool. If you have a shop do it for you ask them to leave the splined alignment shaft in the O/D unit until you go to install it and that you will bring it back. Because I have seen some get the splines aligned but moving it around or even dropping or banging it around can throw the alignment of the splines off. I always left the tool in it until I was ready to bolt the O/D unit back on as you can pull it right out if its done right. Ron
