HOw do you ge the pump off the 700R4. Removed the bolts. What's next??

 

WAG slide hammer, do you have a manual

 

NO. I've looked locally for a Haynes Automotive Tech #10360 , which I read is the book I need. No one, including the library, had a copy. I read in my Helms manual for my Corvette, that a couple of Kent-Moore tools were needed, but that is par for the course with factory shop manuals. The Helms says to remove the solonoid and the filter first. The filter makes sense but the solonoid must be something for the 4L60E.

never done a 700, but most i see have a pair of tapped holes for a slide hammer

 

The solenoid(lock up) and filter must be removed. They both plug into the pump. The 700, unlike most other gm trans, does not use the slide hammer to remove. It uses a special puller that slips behind the larger set of splines. Then it pushes off the front input shaft to remove the pump. Most of the time you can put a pry bar between the rear of the pump and the top of the reverse input drum and GENTLY wiggle and pry them apart. If you pry too hard, or in the wrong place, you will damage the aluminum pump.

 

Thanks, Floor guy. I got the pump off. While I was pulling the pump, a filter fell to the floor. I'm guessing that this filter goes in one of the bores in the pump. Which end goes in the bore first?
Thanks

The end that has the o-ring goes on the outside edge. Opposite the o-ring slides in first. Inspect the o-ring and clean the filter if needed.
