Resolved Trans pump removal

[DSMSeifer]

What is the trick to removing the pump from these tranny's without damaging anything. I can't find any place I feel safe pulling on and ofcourse nothing to start bolts into to pull out on.

Thanks in advance for any advise.

With the W4A33 (AWD) you need two bolts that you thread in there. Miller tool sells them. Part number MD998333.

Hmm will have to look closer. I don't recall the pump its self actually being threaded. But I suppose I could well have missed it thanks for the heads up I will check when I get home.

tap on the other end of the shaft with a rubber mallet after removing the end clutch.

I know this will sound odd, but i used a 4 inch vice (not bolted to anything) and some paint sticks or rubber. I clamped the shaft sandwiching the wood/rubber on the machined surfaces (not hard enough to crush anything) and gently pulled until it came out (along with a big gasp of suction). Removing the end clutch cover and/or trans cooler hoses might help with the suction and make it easier to remove as well. Good luck, and hope this helps some.

I actually just threaded a set of starter bolts into the pump holes at 3 and 9 O clock. Those 2 have larger thread bore.

I threaded those in by hand switching back and forth between the 2 and the pump slowly backed out.
