The toughest part (there would be a few) of the blindfolded Sturmey reassembly would be timing the planet gears I think.

I used to do curbside rebuilds on scavenged newspaper in NYC. This was because the sintered sun gear was bad news with a 22T rear cog. You could shatter it with a good stomp in 1st gear. We carried an extra sun gear, a screwdriver, a cone wrench and an adjustable wrench just in case.
