Did you have any trouble putting the trans back in, like getting the trans hooked back up to the motor?
|
OMG what a pain that was! The hardest part was convincing the wife to get under the car on her back and slide the passenger side axle in while I man-handled the trans hanging over the driver side fender. It was easier with both mounts removed from the trans. That coolant tube gets in the way and next time, I would remove it. It literally took 45 minutes to get the trans to finally pop into place.

[What did you make the bearing puller out of
|
I used a "Lady foot" prybar. It has a tapered end on one side and a prying foot on the other. I used a torch and heated the end and then pounded it into a small 90 degree hook that fits into the pilot bearing. I then used a hammer and whacked the other end until it popped out.

Maybe a dumb question but how did you clean it in the washer
|
A standard large shop parts washer. It's a large, rectangular tub with a hose and a brush. You open the lid, turn on the pump, and cleaning solvent comes out the tube and/or brush. I set the whole trans inside and just ran the solvent over the trans while brushing it with the brush. I also removed the drain and fill plugs and ran solvent through the inside to flush out any crap.
