What I did was get a 4" and 5" PVC coupler, a 5/16" threaded rod, some angle iron, two washers and nuts and used that to compress the C1 and C2 return springs... I'll have to post some pics of my redneck engineering :rofl:

no, you have to buy/build someway to compress it. I built mine so you dont need a press.
You wont be able to compress that thing
dmaxlover hopefully ill get a pic or two of mine up tomorrow, not sure though, little busy pulling the motor out.

i have done it with out a press or tool and it is very difficult and frustraiting , just used a pick set and small flat head to dig the snap ring out and reinstalled while holding down on the cage with a 2 big flat blade ( full body weight on it/them )and working in a cirlce , the return springs are fu#$ing tight . it took longer to do it then building a tool ( took a couple hours) , not to mention frustration and broken knuckles .next time i did a trans i made the tool .
IIRC, Guy wrote a CNC program for it.
I think I have it it in my garage somewhere...........
Last time I used it was years ago.
I write enough G-code during the week!
Thats the last thing I needed while working on my trans LOL. I use Surf Cam and or Edge Cam, both can really test my patience:rofl:lol looks like a few odd tools I have made over they years but now I do most in Cadkey and cut them with PowerMill.
well as always I wait a month to hold my promise but here is a pic of my spring cage compressor and my bench stand. And you can see my tool for seating the mainshaft as well.

Very nice. :cool2:
thanks mike, after all you were the one who pointed me in the right direction for how to make them.
If people didn't know these were to rebuild a transmission the tub of vaseline in the background might raise a few questions..
Get your mind out of the gutter.
:hug:
