TIMECODE below so you can skip my personal rants.
How I repaired my 1947 Snap-on GM-70M ratchet.
I also go off on a few reflections and rants but I came back in the end to give you a final update including what Snap-on did for me. Remember this is just how I did it and not necessarily what would work for you. I accidentally had two examples and ended up with one working ratchet.

I hope this helps some who might be working on something similar.
Thanks for watching and Take care.
