1. First tap the cover with a hammer hard enough that it moves a bit.

2. You then have to depress the cover and remove the big wire ring. A wood working clamp on a pipe might work for you.

3. Then pull on the cover and hook the blue o-ring, cut it and pull it out. The cover should then come out. See my picture here:

3. The whole servo then comes out. Looks like this (without the gold rings):

I think the Corvette Servo should be plenty for you application. No need for the very expensive billet ones.

You will have to disassemble it like this:











(Note: the blue spring is supplied with the Transgo HD2 kit; it is not in a stock servo.)

The "Corvette Servo" just consists of the two bottom parts in the last picture. It is just a different 2nd gear piston and housing. There is no such thing as a "3rd servo". The Corvette servo is in the $15 range; just make sure to replace all the seals too; a complete seal kit might be included with the servo, or might be an additional $5 or so.
