I recently bought a toploader that was represented as newly rebuilt. I have not installed it yet so there is no way I can confirm that. Here's the question, how can you tell it was rebuilt?

Are there any signs that should be obvious that it was rebuilt? I am willing to tear it down and rebuild it myself except for two things, 1 if it was already rebuilt there is no need to do it again and 2 my understanding is you need a special tool to remove the front bearing to get the mainshaft out.

Anyone have any ideas???
