need help with 4L80E rebuild

[02gmcbandit]

ok guys u pulled the 4L80e out of my 99 2500 4wd to overhaul it, i have got as far as i think the 2nd or 3rd pack, but the tranny is completely different from a 4L60, the part where im having trouble is there in a assemblely that has a bolt runing through where the valve body goes thats held in place, there actually 2, 1 bolt is towards the front of the tranny, the 2nd is towards the rear, im having trouble with the one at the rear, its a 12 point bolt if i remember right, i have removed it like i did the 1st one but the assemblely will not budge, is has one of the steel plate things made onto it and has a snap ring lock ring w.e u wanna call it behind the steel plate. any help on geting this out?

Post a picture of it. I've never had any problem getting an 80e apart. If you're talking about the center support, you have to remove the oil cooler return fitting from the case for it to come out.

yeah, thats the center support, remove the oil cooler return fitting from case and it should come out.
