i have never taken a shift fork out, how hard is it to do yourself or should i get it done?
Chagning out the shift fork is prolly the easiest of any internal repair. But the syncro you have to really disassemble her.
Here are some pics of a W56B with the case off. The large fork near the center is the 1 and 2 fork/hub. It is upsidedown in the pic but it really shows it. The metal ring that bends around is the hub, is the shift fork. The two brass rings are the syncros.

Here are some of the special tools needed that i had to make. You will still need snapring pliers, press, and an assortments of other tool to get her done.

I enjoy rebuilding things like this more so then sheet metal work. Marlin prolly could rebuild it for you also :-p Enjoy
