Teflon rings on imput clutch housing sizing

[michigander2005]

Rebuilding a 4T60E book shows using special tools for Teflon oil rings installation and for sizing..

big problem if they go back in tranny as out of package or should I borrow beg or buy the tools ?

IM a cheap ass and used aluminum sheets out of a soda can and a hose clamp to compress the seals and to install them. Kinda like a piston ring compressor/installer.

I'd rent the tool or go the the trans shop and see if they do it for you since your not as "crazy" as I am.

Thanks for the hose clamp idea ,, appears to work

currently stuck installing driven sprocket support part 609 in book ,, lacks 1/2 " of going on very very very tight fit
