5r55s reverse servo apply lever and rod

[Greg24]

Hello all. New to the forum. I am currently rebuilding a 5r55s and need to swap cases due to OD servo blowing a chunk of the case out the side. I have disassembled the enter tranny but cannot figure out how to remove the reverse band strut lever and rod. I have not found any videos or instructions on how to do so. Has anyone here done this before?

Your welcome, most of the time they will fall out. But have had some that needed vice grips on to remove. Good luck.
Also a tip that can save you some problems when being reassembled.

Brad.
