4L60E valve body repair

My 96 S10 has an occasional P1870 after HWY use when its hot. Researching this brings up a lot of reference of the TC slipping due to valve body wear. It seems a lot of people rebuild the trannie before ever trying to fix the valve body. A couple of companies make a kit to do this repair:

Can the valve body be taken off a S10 with the trannie still in the truck by dropping the pan? Does it take any special tools to get the valve body off?. Is a driveway valve body repair/swap feasible?

Yes i saw that. The reamer cost more than the part. Does the reamer have to be in something like a milling machine, or can it be used with a hand drill?

This can be a challenging job

The reaming part of it or the valve body R/R part of it?

There is a guy on ebay selling the rebuilt body's for $250 or so.

What i am trying to figure out is if you drop the pan, drop the filter, and then the valve body just unbolts? Any special tools?
