A cats paw will fit nicely into the grove just in front of the flywheel (engine side) The curve on the long pry side is just enough to slip into the oval hole in the fly wheel while coming straight out and you can rest it on the frame of the vehicle. All this takes place where the starter mounts to the flywheel. You must have removed the starter and the starter dust cover. Use a 15mm wrench to turn the fly wheel with one of the three flywheel to torque converter bolts toward the starter hole then the above can be done to lock the flywheel into place.
how to drai torque converter on 1999 chevy blazer
no
It's inside the transmission (between the engine and the gears).
It's a good idea.
You have to pull the transmission. then it's just 3 bolts/nuts through flywheel.
Remove the starter and remove the protector places behind the started
NO. You will have to remove the transmission bolts and move the transmission back alittle after you have removed the driveshaft,transmission lines,crossmember bolts,starter,flywheel dust cover,front driveshaft,torque converter bolts. NO OTHER WAY.
How can I tell if a 1995 torque converter is going bad the tranny slips and stops when it warms up.
Are we talking about excessive crankshaft endplay or a damaged flywheel? If its crankshaft endplay, replace the thrust bearings (and torque converter if automatic transmission). If it's the flywheel, replace the flywheel.
with a torque wrench
Yes it will fit. bellhousing will fit but the torque converter will not bolt up to flex plate (flywheel) not to mention the trans cant handle the increased amount of torque with big block
If the bolts are 3/8-16, the torque would be 50 ft/lbs. If 7/16, 65 ft/lbs.
