I have a big problem, I did the Corvette servo mod and I cannot get the snap ring back into the housing, I've been working on this for 2.5 hours and I cannot get it to seat. If someone is in the Burbank California area and can help me out, it would be appreciated so much. I can also give you some money for your time.

I can't offer much more than moral support... but I'll tip my glass of Captain Morgan's in your honor and root for your success. :driving:

I get the everything pushed in far enough, I just cannot get the snap ring to stay in 1 place so I can seat it.

We'll keep you bumped to the top. Maybe somebody that has done it themselves will jump in. :driving:

So far the moral support isn't working it did help, it was close, I was hoping it would be what I needed. I can't get enough of the ring pushed down so it will get lodged in the ridge.

Don't know if this helps you or not but I found this in another servo thread.

 

Good set of instructions. Here`s a couple of hints. A 6 inch long piece of 2x2 wedged between the cover and bottom of the bodywill work as a perfect pry bar to press down on the cover to remove and replace outer snap ring. In order to depress spring in fig 6 of instructions get a 4 inch "c" clamp from your local hardware store. A cap off of a 16oz coke bottle put on the end of the '"c" clamp will protect parts from being scratched. The hardest part of the install is replacing the outer snap ring. Just make sure the cover is fully depressed and the snap ring will go right in.

Perhaps someone who did it themselves has a little secret they are willing to part with? I'm using a crow bar because that's all I have, I have enough leverage with it I just need a way to keep that pressure so I can possibly get both hands in there to push it in.

I've seen that post before and the cover is in far enough, I just can't push the ring in with 1 hand. Thanks though, it is appreciated.

Do you have anywhere you could go buy a set of snap ring pliers? Not sure if a parts store will have those in stock or not.

Damn, it sounds like maybe just a second set of hands would do the trick? :driving:

 

I wish I could help, but I'm on the wrong side of the country.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
