Had an old steel door bench. It was held up by some old metal lathe cast iron legs. Door is still in use at my son's garage. I found an industrial (high school shop) birch top. Lathe legs are under it now in the house. Always get a comment on it. Sure yours will serve its purpose well.

Yeah, they are very similar to the other workbench I have... this just uses slightly different pegs to set the leg height vs. the old style with nuts/bolts.
Not too $$$$$ and works fine.

You use a rebuild kit or order components individually? I have a couple I need to go through.

I used Novak's master kit. Came with Japanese bearings (not Timken) but we'll see how they hold up. A good pair of snap ring pliers and a large bearing splitter is all you really need to do it. Press helps but is not required.
I had to replace the reverse idler gear because it was chewed up. I probably should have replaced the 1/2 Syncro assembly but it was OK enough to throw back in.
I had never rebuilt a transmission before but there is a guy who does a step for step rebuild of the T176 on youtube and it was perfect.

Koyo bought Timken some years back, Koyo manufacture in both names. The last 2 differential rebuilds I've done came with Koyo, spec out the same as Timken, and never had a problem.

Honestly I would trust a Koyo bearing over a Timken these days.
Japanese bearings tend to be very high quality. I've seen Timken made in India.
I rebuild a LOT of Honda ATV's, and Koyo bearings are what Honda uses. They are pricey too, compared to all the chy-na junk out there.

So this is what you used? Did you substitute any of the original parts for the kit parts? Seems like there were original parts that were brass, but the kit replacements were plastic, so a lot of people reused the OEM parts in that case. Been awhile since I looked into it.

That's it. The thrust washers in this kit are plastic (i'm not sure you can find a small parts kit that has metal thrust washers any more) however I reused my metal thrust washers because they were in good shape.

I'd my T176 and D300 last winter. First timer too for a transmission rebuild. But I rebuilt my NP231 t-case in my YJ, so I didn't think a T176 would be too hard. Used Novak master kits and watched the same guy on YouTube as you did. He does a great with his videos.
