anyone ever change a tranny syncro?

How hard is it to change a 5th gear syncro in the 2nd gen tranny? Any special tools or presses required? Anyone done this before?

I think we're all grinding at this point, unless we got rebuilds! 2nd & 3rd for me...

still looking (along with the rest of us) for first hand experience from anyone who has changed the 5th gear (or any gear) syncro.
