You Have to pull the transmission or at least pull it back so you can reach the bolts holding the flex plate to the crank.
remove engine or transmission replace flex plate (flywheel).
Remove the inspection plate/dust cover from the bell housing. Disconnect the torque converter from the flex plate. Remove the drive shaft from the transmission. Separate the engine and transmission and support the transmission while you remove the flex plate. Replace the flex plate and put it all back together.
The flex plate is bolted to the back of the crankshaft. It connects the motor to the torque converter in the transmission. To replace you remove the transmission and replace it.
To remove the torque converter from the flex plate on a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500, first ensure the vehicle is securely raised and supported. Remove the transmission oil pan and drain the fluid. Then, unbolt the torque converter from the flex plate using the appropriate socket, usually accessible through the inspection cover or by rotating the engine to reach all bolts. Once unbolted, you can carefully pull the torque converter away from the flex plate.

Yes, it is possible to remove the flex plate in a Chevy without removing the transmission, but it can be quite challenging. You typically need to access the flex plate through the transmission bellhousing, which may require the use of special tools and techniques to properly support and maneuver the engine. It's often easier and more straightforward to remove the transmission for full access, but if you're determined and have the right tools, it can be done. Always ensure safety precautions are followed when working on vehicles.
To replace the flex plate on a 1986 Ford F-150, first ensure the vehicle is safely lifted and supported. Disconnect the battery, then remove the transmission by unbolting it from the engine and separating it from the driveshaft. Once the transmission is out, unbolt the old flex plate from the torque converter and the crankshaft, then install the new flex plate by reversing the process, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reassemble the transmission and reconnect the battery.
Yes, a 168-tooth flex plate can work with a 700R4 transmission, provided that the engine it is mated to is compatible with that flex plate. The 700R4 typically requires a specific flex plate to match the engine's starter and flywheel specifications. Always ensure that the flex plate is designed for the engine and transmission combination you are using to ensure proper fit and function.
To my knowledge the only small block flex plate that doesn't interchange is the small block 400.
The easiest way is to remove the transmission for that job
