torque converter

You have to take the starter off and go in that way. Turn the engine with a ratchet at the alternator pulley.
 
The starter is 2 15mm bolts, one yoyu remove from above after you remove the wheel liner, and one you remove by putting a socket on an extension and get it from below. its much easier and less of a fight to do it that way,

also disconnect both negative cables and disconnect the wires from the starter.
 
ok guys i got the converter off but now im having trouble with getting the flywheel off i broke my 24" breaker bar so is there a trick to take off or what
 
if it's on a stand, brace the block with a 2x4 or larger and get a longer breaker bar with a nice strong 3-4' pipe to extend it with...the torque specs on the flywheel bolts are unreal...it's gonna take a lot to break them loose don't be afraid of breaking the bolt...be more afraid of breaking more tools :eek:

you are gonna need a big torque wrench and a degree device...youl'll tighten it to xx pounds then so many degrees...I'll dig up those specs for you...BRB
 
Each flat on the allen bolt is 60 deg. So just mark the flex plate oposite one of the flats and tighten bolt till the next flat lines up with the mark. Do this on every bolt. Then go back and do it again. :hihi::rolleyes5:

Yeah, I second that. He has been getting out of selling parts though and concentrating more on the build aspect for reasons that I wont bring up here. I would still call him and pick his brain on things and he will steer you in the right direction.
