cut flex plate bolts?
Ok guys I come to you desperate, I bought a crx with a blown engine and a spare one, the spare is from an automatic. I had little trouble removing the flywheel bolts but the flex plate bolts on the auto engine wont budge, I tried everything, heat, cold, wd40, hammering, air chizel, impact gun etc.
I need to know if cutting the bolt head and removing the flex plate will relieve the pressure on the threads? and then use some pliers or something

Re: cut flex plate bolts?
Make sure your using a 12 point 17mm socket. Must be a short socket and you must not use a extension.
Dont cut the heads itll be 10x harder to do without a head bro.... go to autozone and get a cheap bottle of automatic tranny fluid and pour some caps around there. let it sit over night.
Spray wd40 also if you want...
Make sure you have a good strong gun and enough air in your compressor. hit the bolts a few times forward (do not hold trigger) just tapp it then put it in reverse and hold it. untill it budges.
Good luck. if you have a small compressor you probably wont be successful so take the motor to your local goodyear.firestone, etc ask the mechanics who has the strongest gun.
and if that doesnt work get a breaker bar and this tool. http://images.search.yahoo.com/image...mb=4/b2gHN6Cuk
