Mac VanPelt's early Ford light duty transmission book is very good. It's a good idea to expect to use a press or some other form of bearing pullers for stubborn parts but the difficult part is getting the old style snap rings off. Mac VP has a very good snap ring kit that has the correct thickness rings and they can be removed easily with snap ring pliers.

Removing and reinstalling the transmission is the hardest part.
