700R4 build thread.

[clinebarger]

I'm going to continue this thread to help others that may want to tackle a 700R4...

Next step is to pull the front pump, Remove the 13mm headed bolts, A pump puller is preferred, But a bearing splitter can be used as well, Both these methods require clamping onto the stator support tube (arrow in the pic).

The other method is to rock the pump out with a flat blade screwdriver & dead blow hammer, Get under the pump with the screwdriver, lightly pry up while tapping the input (turbine) shaft with the dead blow. Use patience!!!
The pump is tougher to remove with 1 piece Teflon seals, If the unit has Scarf Cut seal...It will be easier.
