marc_w Posted August 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 Damn! I'm going to have to eat a few extra bowls of Wheaties in the morning if I try the strap-wrench method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted August 5, 2004 Report Share Posted August 5, 2004 If you get it in there right, you can brace it against one of the other pulleys. For taking it off, anyway. Putting it on, I always put a big, long, screwdriver through the crank pulley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_w Posted August 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Ahhh... yeah. [[bill Lumberg?]] I took a look at things tonight. It all makes sense now. I found some of that 1/8" thick by 2" wide stock laying around. It happened to be about 14" in length. I notched it on one side, stuck it in there and let it grab onto a converter mounting lug. The motor is LOCKED with that thing in there. For S&G's I even used a medium length screwdriver and stuck it in one of the holes in the flywhee/flexplate. That feels pretty good too.

marc_w Posted August 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Just wanted to note, that 1/8x2x14" plate of steel couldn't have worked better. I was surprised at how easy it was to get the bolt out. It was a two minute job. I kept hearing about all of these horror stories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would've been a nightmare if you hadn't done all the legwork up front. Good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Getting the bolt out was never hard. Getting back in is a different story with the 140 degree turning of the bolt to stretch it. If you put in a torque-to-yield (TTY) bolt. It takes around 240ft lbs (ball park) to meet the 140. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
