3rd burned up for the previous owner of my 02 gmc 1500hd and i read that the sonnax sure cure valve body parts can prevent that from happening again so i got the drift and guide kit used off ebay and need to get my valve body fixed up, but i can't find youtubes or write-ups on how to do this part so if anybody has any refrences for clearer instructions, im not even 100% certain which bore the afl is.

here's me holding a 4l80e afl drift in front of what i think is the afl hole, which instructions say to run the drill bit first and then the drift, and if that's done proper and cleaned the replacement is that solid silver cylinder on the right? previous sonnax toolkit owner welded a driver onto a 7/16" drill bit, is that the one that is run in the afl hole first? Thanks for your guys' time and help, i need to find a write up on how to install the sure cure kit.

lastly, the rod im pointing at was the first that got the roll pin out, and when that pin came out, the spring shot the rod right out of the bore and I didn't notice which way it was oriented when in the valve body. it's almost mirror image, with the top being a longer gap that i'm pointing at. if i had to guess i'd say the long gap would go to the outside of the valve body but i have no idea I could have it upside down orientation right now. thanks again for everyones time!
