Hi,
thies is a 1985 700r4 trans.
I have the oil pump loose, from prying it up through the filter hole, and also removed the selanoid. But the pump only goes up about 1/2inch and stops. Is there something i have not done? Im afraid to put too much pressure by prying it out.

Thanks,

 

proper puller is your best option.

triple-make-sure everything from underneath holding it is removed.

I've held the stator support with a medium (4" capacity) bearing splitter and a slide hammer to tap one out but the stator support was junk.

 

Thanks for the info. I will see if I can come up with some sort of puller.

I got it! I had an old valve spring compressor "the kind you can rent from autozone" laying around that I was able to use with a pair of vice grips to make a puller. Basicaly gripped the bottom of the spline with the part that is supposed to grip the bottom of the spring and used the vice grips to hold it in place.

 

90 dollars for something you could make in your garage?that should be about fifthteen dollars imo.

 

Let me know. I will take one for $30 shipped, if you make some.
