Corvette servo install

Another great write up! This , to me, was worth paying 45.00 to have done.

Much firmer shifts. 1st lasts much longer.

There is alot of good stuff on there and most of it is surprisingly inexpensive

I assume when you refer to the 2-3 & OD, you are talking about overdrive billet servo?

well i tried to give a shot at this today, and i am stuck at step 1...well i dont have a heatshield to remove...

i can not get the housing to compress to remove the clip.
when you compress it, is the amountit compresses noticable, or are we talking thousandths of a inch here?

i tried using a pry bar.. that wasnt working and moved up to a crowbar.
i can get leverage on it, it just is not moving at all.

any thoughts?

It moved a good 1/8 inch at least, if not 1/4 inch.

ya, its not moving at all.

i tried putting a socket in there and trying that route... no luck

i have an open shot at it from the wheel well, and tried using a hammers handle and slapping it to break it free.. still no luck..


going to drown it in some WD40 and let that sit for awhile

This servo is pretty far from the wheel well. I was standing in between the arms of my lift when I was directly underneath it, and the forward arm is behind the front wheel by at least two feet.

I was thinking the same thing, Egan. I actually went outside to check it out and it seems possible with the front wheel and fender well shroud off.

However, it doesn't look easy. With your second guessing combined with the fact there was no heat shield... Hellz.. are you sure you're in the right spot?
