Default Servo install help, paging Houston gearheads

I just got the Corvette servo kit in the mail from ebay, I however, have somewhat unfortunate luck when it comes to installing slightly technical things.

I am hoping that someone in Houston who is a more experienced mechanic or has done a servo install to lend me a hand... and swap a little car talk in the process. I will gladly drive to meet up and provide a six pack of cold ones, then treat to lunch or dinner or whatever (I am a college student, so that's about all I can spare )

I am free all of this week and this weekend, so I am hoping someone can give me some help with this in the spirit of the season. Thanks guys!

a large flat head screw driver, to get the ring off
oil pan, catch the drips
ramps or jack stands, to crawl under the truck
a long 2-1/2 to 3ft rod, to press/hold the servo in the trans to put the ring back on
and patience.

yeah. the 3/4 servo is the outer cap that comes off first. LOTS of patience and long pole for pressure.
