Easiest 727/904 rebuild thread...
So again trying to knock out all these "reasons" somebody wouldn't try this at home for the first time. I'm trying to keep an accurate account of tools, time, and space.. the pictures should depict very little space, nothing as far as tools that you couldn't buy at harbor freight or make along with a little bit of hillbilly ingenuity, and time...
For time once the initial power washing was done just to knock some of the heavier crud off of it which it still needs a good super cleaning and I'll probably paint it as well. I've got an hour and a half into taking it apart and I would say 45 minutes half of that time was just getting the pump out of the front the rest just pretty much falls out after that...
The first two pictures will be of my bench set up ready to go. A little pile of tools, a little shoe box size box on the bottom right to catch the exterior stuff and little baggies of nuts and bolts and accumulators. All bagged and tagged. A couple pieces of 4x4 about 11 inches tall to set the back of the transmission on to kind of stabilize it on the bench. On the back corner a strip of clean paper towels to lay everything out as I took it out..
To give you some perspective you can see my truck is right there I barely have room to fart...
