Question need trans. help fast

i posted this in the superduty forum but no answers, hope you guys can help.
i am in the middle of installing a sonnax valve and springs in the trans.i got the valve in but after i removed the clips for the springs the plungers will only move about 1/8 of an inch then stop dead. the instructions say to gently pull them out but they will not budge......need some help

Sorry - I didn't make it in time - but I ran into the same thing when I put mine in. I used pliers on the end of the bolt to get them out - was a lot harder then the instructions made it sound. How you makin' out with those little clips?? Fun huh??

its all back together, just got to put the fluid in, i used a dental pick to get the clips out, was not to bad. it is a little harder than the instructions say, plus i did not want to break anything. i figured if they went in they have to come out..a few taps with the pliers around the bolt and they gave...thanks again for your help
