11. NOTE: Remove the valves by tapping the valve body on the palm of the hand to slide the valves out of the bores or by threading a 4-mm bolt into the valves and pulling them out. If it is necessary to use a pick, use extreme caution to prevent damaging the valves or valve bores. If necessary, disassemble parts of the main control valve body in small groups. Arrange the parts as they are removed to avoid mixing similar pieces.

    Compress the valve springs with a screwdriver and remove the retainers with a magnet. Use a pick to remove the bypass valve retainer. Remove the individual valves and springs from the main control valve body by tapping the valve body on the palm of the hand to slide the valves out of the bores. Use the General Equipment: Flat Headed Screw Driver

25. NOTE: Be careful not to wash the numbers from the solenoids or the solenoid body. Failure to install the solenoids in the ports they were originally in can result in damage to the transmission or a harsh shift.
    NOTE: Do not stone or polish any valves or damage to the valves can occur. If the valves do not move freely during assembly, install a new solenoid body.

    Clean and inspect the solenoid body, solenoids and valve assemblies for damage.
