Fiesta poor downshift to 1st

Are there any special tools I need to disassemble the mainshaft assembly to get to the 1st gear synchro? I suspect there may be a spring loaded ball bearing that is part of that 1st gear synchro assembly and that is what is causing 1st gear to pop out of gear sometimes. It would pop out with a bang until I developed a sense of when it would happen and just take off in 2nd.

I would not be surprised if the synchro rings did not show much wear. I could shift into 1st at a crawl with no grinding.
