I replaced the mainshaft bearing on my syncro transmission, without
having to tear the transmission down too far. Went at the bearing from
the front. Would have been a good time to go at that 3/4 clutch gear
too, but I didn't. Pretty much standard tools, and a loaner bearing
puller from a BMW dealership.
