I bought both special tools, the spanner for the nut and the splined holder for the shaft. The reason I asked the question on this forum is that typically people who respond are more responsible when repairing equipment. What I saw on line were people using the wrong sealant on the transmission extension housing and tightening the gear nut with a hammer and chisel. So people who went on and on about their 3rd, 4th, 5th failure....I don't know if they knew what they were doing or they were just following the YouTube "mechanics".
