If you replace the gear set, drive shaft, bearings (forward gear or drive shaft) or gear case. I may have missed one, but one of the gear case experts will be along soon.

If any of the components are changed it needs to be set up with the tools correctly. This includes swapping internals to a different case

On a standard rotation unit, you can change the prop shaft, reverse (only) gear, shift shaft or bearing carrier without shimming. None of these affect the positioning relationship of the pinoin and forward gear.

It's probably worth at least checking after reassembly.

It's probably worth at least checking after reassembly.
I was kinda thinkin the other way around .. See if this makes sense.
If it's sloppy before you take it apart, it's going to be just as bad when you hang it back together ... Pretty simple to check back-lash and then pinion ht. as it's coming apart.
Lets you know where you stand and what adjustments that need to be made before / during the time it's being put back together ..
