Torque Converter Bolts !!!

Man I've just about had it.....

I can't break my torque converter bolts free...... Sprayed them, torched them, pounded them, talked dirty to them but nothing will break them loose!!!! I've been trying for 2 days now!!!!!

This is the second engine I've pulled (the first was my old 1/2 ton truck) and I remember hating these bolts the first time too!!!!! It's just that there's next to no room to work with, and I'd hate to strip a bolt!!!

They aren't a reverse thread are they.......?

I'd be really pissed if I was tightening them this whole time......

Re: Torque Converter Bolts !!!

Well they aren't reverse threads after all.... It just took alot of hitting and swearing (3 days worth) along with some liquid wrench!!!!
