No worries, Peter. I have no RL experience with the SOHC engines: just the DOHC ones. There are cases where you need access to a special tool or two to get something done. The Haynes manual does a good job of making substitutions where possible, but it doesn't work for everything.
I agree: putting the transmission back together is probably the hardest part, with all the cogs and forks and gears and such. That's why I'm a fan of taking pictures with camera or smartphone for a point of reference.
