bad news bears....AGAIN!!! will i EVER have a good trans when this is all said and done. whew! 
the piston on the old one was broken and now this one is cracked into pieces. i actually thought this won was going to work because i could move the piston back and forth before i took it apart.....not so. anyone have one of these they are willing to part with....i really just need the piston and the lip seal that goes on it. p.s. it is 45 bucks from Max....so anyone??? LOL!
see the photo with the word "clamp" in it....any ideas on how to "make", borrow, rig up, etc...something like that...remember it is brass....i thought about just using a clamp with rubber feat on it to hold it, but that is some serious spring pressure to have to hold.
the other pic of the screw down tool.....well it would just be interesting to know if anyone has ever even seen that thing. luckily my arbor has bolts that you can tight down that will hold the arbor in place while you do other things.
got the drive shaft painted, except the trunnion as i haven't put on the new rubber boot etc....
painted the pan that goes on with the sway bar. had to drill out the spot welds on the sway bar mounts...boooo...oh well. i'll weld that stuff back up and noone will even know it was drilled. hehe. ;0)
found a bunch of bolts that the bag said....transmission, starter, and in that area......LOL! apparently i was alittle vague on that one. looks like i get to go back and look at pics, hopefully i have something to look back on. Oops! ;0) HAH!
cleaned up the trans really good and rust converter primed it. cleaned the bell housing and the tail shaft, inside and out. very clean! i like it!!
also before i get one from ultramatic dynamics.....long shot here....but does anyone have one of those pins that broke....see previous post above for the broken pin.....
thanks everyone and enjoy. will be doing more videos soon after i get the rebuild kit in (Monday) and get all the parts degreased and cleaned up nice.
