The 4R70W rebuild!
This has been a busy summer! So many things going on and hardly any time for this. Im going to do my best to piece together my rebuild. Its been far too long since I posted and I have A LOT to write. Im going to start off by saying this. When rebuilding a trans keep everything clean. Its paramount to the rebuild. This will stop any problems down the road.
Okay, so here goes!
First thing is to remove the shaft speed sensor. It will be damaged at disasembly if you do not remove this first. There is a picture of it removed. I believe its held in with a 8mm bolt.
Then, pull the front pump. All the bolt holes are clearance holes. Two have a threaded section thats larger than the through hole so you can thread a larger diameter bolt jn and pull the pump out. On all the rebuilds I read this was not made clear. This threaded section is the right size for one of the transfer case to extension bolts. I used two of those and a ratchet strap. With a quick jerk, the p u mp came free. I used the two bolts I threaded in to lift the pump out.
