Rebuilding the Ford AOD : Special Tools and Resources

This video covers the specialized tooling and equipment you will want to have on hand when tackling a Ford AOD, AOD-E, 4R70W or 4R75W transmission. I present each tool, show footage of it's use as well as provide information about where you can purchase these tools along with approximate prices. I also discuss resources that you'll find invaluable to have at your fingertips while working on your AOD / AOD-E/4R70-75W transmission.

I buy the majority of my specialty tools on eBay so will link to each - note that these links may or may not be active, depending on when you're reading this.
