Resurrecting an old, old thread....

My need to do this very thing has arisen.

98 Durango, 5.2L 44re.

Front band anchor cracked and bent. Trans lost 2nd. I have the old band out, but wanted some pointers on wiggling the new one back in.

Do you snake it in up by the drum, or do you snake it around the rotator farther back then wiggle it forward to the drum?

Any input would be appreciated!
