Heyyyyyyy I do have one.
When pulling the output shaft you must be very gentle and careful. About half to 3/4 of the way to the diff end of the trans is the lube dam. It'* basically a plastic ring with a purpose of keeping fluid at the diff end to keep it lubed. You don't want to break it. Free floating plastic in the trans is not a positive thing.
The output shaft is pulled from the driverside of the car. And reinstalled from that side as well.

Is the output shaft required? the HD upgrade from ZZP includes the diff, diff cover which I have already, a stage 1 axle, and the torrington bearing
and a friend of mine found a ZZP stage 2 with 10k on it, will it work on the Bonne? and where can I get the torrington bearing?

i dont know if the GTP half shafts will work in the Bonneville, i think they are different length.
Plus stock is more than enough, i only can think of 1-2 people braking stock half shafts

talked to a few shops around here, first quoted $1800-$2000 and about 3-4 days, this was using the same trans and changing torque converter, bands, clutches, 4th clutch shaft with a hardened one, and put the diff in for me
talked to another shop, suggested to get a HD trans from Morad, who he works with often, check it over, replace worn parts and put it in the car, quoted $1600 and 2 days to do the swap
I think I will go with number 2, less time I'm without the car and cheaper, just need to do trans programming
