To R & R Remove and replace no to rebuild there are some tools that make it easy (milking stool - slang name for th etool to compress the clutch pack spring to get the snap ring on n off) but you can do it with a few snap ring pliers and a screw driver hammer and sockets

transmission jack.

There are ways around it....I made a 1x1' square plate with a pipe nipple sticking out the middle of the bottom that I put on my floor jack (replaces the saddle)

Bushing drivers and clutch spring compressors are the main ones. When I was young I took the parts to a trans shop and had them r&r the bushings and lip seals. Since then I've bought a K-D spring compressor that works on all of the ones in a 350, and also a bushing driver set (kinda expensive) that works on all the older transmissions (3 speed autos).

btw when I worked at the transmission shop lo these many years ago, R&R was remove and replace. The guys in the back shop did that. The rebuilding was done in the front shop.

the Ron Sessions book is a good place to start....check your local library, or a local bookstore (the kind of bookstore with soft chairs is great)

most important thing is in the details, and keeping stuff clean, and be careful with the seals, dont force the pistons
