I researched this forum, Google and YouTube for info on removing the 4r100 from my 2000 F150. I can find out how to rebuild it but there's not much on how to pull it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's a pretty easy job. Just go for it.
Disconnect driveshaft, remove transfer case if you have one. Pull off the tranny lines, and electrical. Remove the shift linkage and disconnect that exhaust hanger. Remove the bolts holding it to your engine, and lower it out and down. It's pretty straight forward.

I've pulled the tranny out of a 2006 Lincoln Town Car before but wasn't sure if I needed any special tools or anything for the F150. Now when I get it out I'm contemplating rebuilding it myself, it will be my first transmission rebuild so I'm reading everything I find about the 4r100 but I've also got people telling me to not chance it and have a pro rebuild it. Can't afford to spend $1400 on a pro so wish me luck!

I hope you have a good mechanical skill set and a very clean area for the rebuild. I have rebuilt many Chevy small and big blocks but have never attempted a transmission rebuild. Good Luck

Yeah, it will definitely be a learning experience on the do's and don't's of transmission building! I'm kinda second guessing myself and leaning towards a junkyard transmission. I know it's a 50/50 chance of getting a good one but those odds are better than the odds of me finishing a transmission rebuild correctly, lol!
