The reason I have never touched the innards of a TorqueFlite is because every operation seems to call for a special tool "this" and a special tool "that". At least that's how it was when I was contemplating a GM AT rebuild years ago (mini-blazer).

Not really. You just need to improvise. A couple of "C" clamps and some sockets will go long way. It's not the ideal way but it is the shade tree way and it can be done.
