4 speed reverse question

I used the heater hose trick to load the countershaft into the case. Worked great.

 What is that?   

[Chryco Psycho]

instead of using a steel pin to hold the brgs in place inside the countershaft you can use heater hose or wood dowel , the hose is left inside the counter  shaft while installing in the case then the the countershaft pin is slide into place through the case pushing to hose out without dropping the brgs

 Thanks Chryco. That's one I will have to ask about again once in the middle of it... and in trouble.
