How to remove engine with seized torque converter and flywheel

2012-07-23
I made some progress it's basically what happened is down there on my flywheel the engine had ceased I wasn't able to turn the flywheel at all to unscrew the torque converter you slide under here and show you what's going on right up in here this big round thing is a torque converter this is the flywheel I'm on the flywheel there's little bolts so those are the bolts they go out of the flywheel um they were sense that it sees it wouldn't spin so I only get three of the four out so I had to just pull the whole torque converter out with the with the flywheel um most people on the internet said not to do it that way but we'll see if it works also to pull it straight out the motor mount was getting in our way so we just went ahead just deke detached the motor mount to make it a easier I believe those was a 15 millimeter bolt this came right out and there's as we went we just made sure to disconnect all the extra wires and stuff there's another one down here by the oil filter the fuel line was also given us some issues what I did is I came in up to the fuel line and I undid this little screw I'll show you on this other engine on the fuel line it's a little bit different you'd undo this and release all the pressure inside and I disconnected these and then I disconnected the hose I did to left it connected as well because it's pressurized and I didn't want to deal with attaching a whole new hose to it anyway as far as connecting the engine to the hoist goes now I might just use these big bolts right here a little chain and then O'Reilly Auto Parts was pretty cool I'll just do it the deposit with them and then they give me a lift 350 bucks and then when I return the lift they give me back my tip is it so kind of like renting for free anyway other than that we're just about to clear the whole thing so that's about it all right so now that it's in the back of my back we can work on taking apart the torque converter as you can see down inside that crack is the bolts the torque converter still hasn't spin it just because the ease engine is seized up you can see this hole right here and that would explain why it's not turning same here hole on this side anyway um I can get my wrench down in there though and you can see that I'm turning the bolts so hopefully I get those turned enough to get the whole torque converter off
