Re: 77 el camino classic

first of all, my Haynes/GM THM350 rebuild manual says:

"Do not remove the Teflon oil seal rings (from the 1-2 accumulator piston). If they are damaged, replace the piston assembly. "

That being said, you should have enough room to remove the cover, spring and piston.
If its a bit tight, just place a jack under the tailshaft, remove the trans crossmember and lower the jack a couple of inches.
