Yes.


You can do it without the SST.


Water pump pliers work well.

You can just push down and turn. It helps if you use an old spider gear as the tool.

It turns just the opposite of what you think it would, not lefty-loosey/righty-tighty

its kindof a pain, but it should work.

Funny Story
I was doing some in town wheeling near a buddys house, Hit a hill in Second gear, realized i should have been in first, but it was too late, Almost at the top of the hill and the i somehow ripped the Shifer right out of the Tranny.. LOL..

I Drove it to my Freinds house and figured out how the dam thing went back in there..

What was strange was my 55 turned opposite of what everyone told me. I sat twisting that junk forever until I went the other way and POP!...
