Once you get the shafts out of the intermediate plate, the two bearing races that were holding them on will fall off. In the picture here, the intermediate plate would go between the shafts and the races on the right (note matching races still on the shaft)

Ok, for a while we'll concentrate on the pinion shaft (that's the shorter one). Remove the other bearing race. To get it to come off you may need to hold the gears and tap the end of the shaft with the brass hammer.

Next is the second tapered washer. The washer is about 6.6 mm thick at its thickest, and the flat side is against 2nd gear. Then remove second gear and it's associated roller bearing and inner race.

The last thing to come off the pinion shaft is four shims, about 0.3mm thick each. The number and thickness may vary between transmissions.

Now we move on to the input shaft. Clamp it in a vice like this: (make sure you grab the splines well, and don't pinch any gears anywhere.. Gently rotate it back and forth as you tighten the vice so it gets seated tight. Get the vice very tight.

Here's where the big-ass crecent wrench comes in.. Put it on the nut, and pound until it comes loose. Be sure to pound in line with the vice, like this:

Once you get that nut and locking washer off, take the whole thing out of the vice and flip it over. Hold on to the gears and bearing, especially towards the bottom. Now pick up the whole shaft and lightly drop it on the anvil part of the vice like this: (being ready to catch the stack of bearings, washers and gears that will come loose)

Whelp, there you have it. I hope this helps people take on their transmission troubles without fear. I will probably add a couple of syncro details later, but this is it for now.
