Hey gang,

I finally finished all the videos for the T56 rebuild. Not perfect, but I'd like to think that at the moment they may be some of the better ones out there. Enjoy!

So I had seen the first video, but just caught up on the rest. This rundown is so good it hurts. Really well done, and I can say that because I make commercials for a living! Thanks for taking the time to create and share this!

Just getting started with a CTS-V T56 that I picked up used (and cheap) for the purpose of rebuilding it. In the part 1 video, started at about 2:10, Chris knocks off the output shaft nut with an impact, then uses a 3-jaw puller to pull off the output flange. The video is sped up a bit, but it looks like even with the 3-jaw puller it took some effort to get that flange off.

On this tranny I've got, I used my brand new cordless impact to knock the nut off, and then was kicking myself because I had forgotten to hit Autozone to rent their loaner 3-jaw puller. But I grabbed the flange and much to my surprise it came off by hand - slipped right off the splines with basically no effort at all. Is that flange supposed to be a tight/press fit onto the output shaft splines?
