727 leak

what I do that works every time is put the closed end of the wrench on the bolt, put 2 fingers over the closed end/bolt head to hold the wrench in place and hit the open end with a 5lb hammer to turn it. the motor must be held from turning or this won't work. usually a long screw driver shoved up in the flexplate some where keeps it from turning.

with the little time i had tonight....The flexplate bolts are out..nothing that the 1 1/4 socket (that i just got) holding the engine still and a rubber hammer couldnt solve... lol its ready to drop....thats next time which is gonna be soon lol

good to hear you got the bolts out, I`ve been wondering how your project has been going.

[Avenger]

I hope it keeps going..i may be able to have time to drop it tonight..fingers crossed

So as usual anytime i work on anything i run into a million problems... I cant get the cross member out.. The exhaust pipes are in the way.. Easy way to weasle it out or one pipe has to be unhooked?

Do you have a cross over? If so you will have to lower both sides. Otherwise could you lower the back enough? Do what ever seems easiest.

[Avenger]

Well its lowered... i dont know what wrong with it yet because i was too tired to mess with it anymore lol.. ill have to find a way to work on it under there or weasel it out from underneath the car..but sweet success for now

Looks like you have the chassis up high enough to wrestle that monster out of there.

The most fun part was sitting on top of the engine getting the top bolts... lol..

Then there are the dowel pins to back off from. Yah, I hear 'ya. Getting down and dirty in your engine bay to get those bolts out gives a whole new meaning to 'getting personal' with your ride! How are your knuckles fairing?
