If you're replacing the 3rd and 4th gears, just take out the whole shebang out by removing the 12 nuts holding the bearing retainer plate to the case. Both shafts will come out along with the bearing retainer plate. It is heavy, so be mindful of that. And note all of the pinion shims. At that point you can remove the other big nut on the input side, then disassemble the input shaft. 1st gear drive gear is part of the input shaft and does not come off. Then you can disassemble the retainer plate and shift mechanism and lay everything out on the bench. The detents themselves are not spring loaded, but will move if you start moving the shift shafts around.
The factory tool for removing the nut on the input side is a big long tube with a socket on one side and 1/2" square drive on the other. You can use a big wrench if you can hold the shaft by using an old clutch disc in a vise.
