can someone show me how to take this off. is it a automatic flywheel? its welded onto the plate you see here

 

It's a torque converter. There is no flywheel in automatic. That part you circled is one piece. Check out item #6 in this pic.

 

basically bolts #9 on pic you have to remove those then
the converter comes off

then bolts #10 remove the flywheel

 

o i c.

so number 9 and 15 is what holds it in place?

 

thanks for help guys.

 

one more question.

should i leave this on and take off the crack nut. becasue i dont have the pulley holder tool and no impact gun. i wish i had a impact gun.

 

#15 is just to take cover off
and you dont need an impact gun to break loose
all you have to do is
use a wrench to hold the opposite bolt

 

the damn thing wont come off. and how would i use a wrench to hold it?

 

the wrench jams so the other bolt becomes loose.

We came up with some inventive ways of pulling off those bolts on my LS... Just jam something somewhere to keep it from turning. An impact makes it eeeeeeeasy, but you don't need one of those or even the gear holder.

And for reference sake, all automatic transmissions do require a "flywheel" but it's called a "flex plate" and it sits between the crank and the torque converter. It serves a different function, as well, than your everyday flywheel.

are you referring to the front crank pulley?

ussually is the same theory have someby jam the rear
but this time use some thing for leverage....

 

this is what happened.

i used a breaker bar with another metal pipe for an extention for more leverage and broke 2 3/4 sockets. i guess i got soem cheap tools.

 

dont need to have an impact gun to use impact sockets....

 

i went to autozone and got a 19mm socket see if this works.

 

got the bitch off !

 

now dont loose the retainers for the crank......
