I think CC did this too, but not sure. Anyway, you also need a dial indicator, digital caliper, snap-ring pliers, bearing splitter, and large sockets. I think $300-$350 is about right for tools. Then you have the cost of the gears, and I would recommend you buy a master rebuild kit as well. While you're in there you may as well replace all bearings and seals.
There are two chapters in my book that detail this procedure completely. Send me a PM and I'll email you the chapters - just to help out a fellow guru. But if you don't want to tackle this, no big deal.
As bogus said though, be prepared to spend time fitting and re-fitting the shims for proper setup. PM me if you want the chapters.
