Oh man I cannot get the flywheel/Tq converter removed from the engine and its driving me insane. How does anyone get these damn bolts undone? a friend and I used two long prybars and bent one. We didn't accomplish anyhting but to round out a bolt head. I'm amazed the socket didn't break first. I guess my only option is to take it to a shop and have them pull it off for me?

 

flathead and a hammer, like taking out screws from old brake drums

 

well I do have an air chisel. Does it really have to come to that?

 

if your not reusind the stuff you could try and use a tourch to get a little heat into it to free it up a bit

 

Are you talking about the 3 torque converter bolts? or the 6 flywheel/flexplate bolts?

 

I know I'm a little off subject, just thought these pics are kewl...
easiest way to pull a motor from the bottom? with a 10 car stinger semi truck

 

Is it only that one chain that's holding the car up?

 

well thats one way to do it

 

there are two chains one on the other side. My family owns an auto transport company so the first time I pulled the motor from the bottom was pretty easy, the second time I didnt have the truck and it wasn't hard just more work.

 

That one chain is stronger than you think......you'd be surprised with what you can use sometimes

 

Tagging this thread so I don't kill the brake lines this week...

 

LOL I think everyone's forgot about those at one point.

Although I forget the ABS connections above all else.

 

As far as I can tell the only things I have left are the ABS, Ypipe, and the steering.
Hopefully I wont have one of those "oh s#$t!" moments when the chassis goes up...

 

The thing I somewhat forgot was the transmission shifter cable (4L60E).

 

Here's what mine looked like yesterday and today... sorry for Hijacking, I figure it fits the subject.
