Long story short, busted 4L60E....Well, after being jacked around by a local wrecking yard (the transmission I picked up from them had dirt embeded in the input shaft splines and inside the torque converter), I've decided to take a shot at rebuilding the 4L60E transmision from my Tahoe myself or at least disassembling it myself first. I'm about halfway done getting the internal components out but can't seem to be able to get the Input Sun Gear to pull out off of the output shaft.

Can anyone recall if there is a trick to this or if I just need to go rent a puller to pull it off the shaft? There isn't much detail about this in the ATSG manual. It's a 97 4wd 4L60E btw...

 

Well apparently if your input gear doesn't come out easily, that means it's damaged. Mine is pretty chewed up, oh well...
