any tips removing 4l65?
 

hey guys, my tranny blew and i have to remove it from yukon so i can send it out to get it fix...
now my question is how hard is it to remove tranny? does anyone have quick instruction guide or anything?

thanks in advance

hand grenade pull pin place under bell housing and run.


Seriously though. Jack it up front rear high as you can get it. Pull the exhaust crossover pipe out, pull the starter and get the converter bolts through there be prepared for a fight if the bastards are the torx bolts/// 3 foot long extension with a fifteen milimeter swivel for the bell housing bolts drop it out and done.

Also a few other things, support engine & get as much drop needed to access top bellhsg bolt. Loosen pan bolts, leave 2 bolts in & tip to 1 side, let run into drainpan, then tip the opposite to remove remainder. That gets rid of most fluid. Hopefully convertot Torx cooperate & don't break them or the 2 little Torx up near NSS. I wanna say they're T20 & bolt in from top. Some bend brkt, but I didn't.
Also, mark location of NSS before removal.

10, 13, 15mm wrenches, sockets & swivels, a couple ext. & like said, the 3' for bellhsg.
Impact gun & wrench for big bolts / nuts on Trans Xmember & 15mm for trans mount. I think I got most of the major stuff. May be a few odds & ends I left out. ;)

Dont forget about the driveshafts and transfer case.

^^ I was gonna say.....

He never said t-case or AWD/ 4wd, so I left that out. :P

11mm on d/shaft bolt caps.

Yukon Denali = AWD. Back to the books Tom! :playboy:

All of em? As in all Denali's? Well then I learned somethin; guess I never thought about that since I'm 2wd. :poke:
