the converter to flexplate bolt is jammed behind the frame rail up in the back of the block. its cocked. my buddy cant get it out of his converter.
theres alot of threds showing and its almost sideways behind the block.The heasd is right up on the frame rail area of the block.
What's the best way to get it out.
its right at the drivers side recessed area of the inside of the block above the oil pan rail.
 
loosen the rest up some and push the converter back

I LOOSENED UP ALL THE CONVERTER BOLTS, had to leave in the bent one where it was, i couldnt get at it no matter what i had, it was up behind the back of the block.
i had to use a sawz-all to cut the head off(last resort) after that turned the ring gear and converter by bumping it over, it broke free and i turned the converter so where i was able to remove the little stud remaining in the converter.all new ARP CONVERTER BOLTS went back in.
 
Superstockracer,
There will be a fee imposed for useful info given out to get your butt out of a bad situation.

This fee may be paid in:

1. Cash

2. Beer

3. Passing useful info to fellow Mopar people in similar situations.

Seeing as you have used Option # 3 extensively, where should we ship the beer to ??

Thanks, I like to share my experiences good or bad.
If been doing this crazy hobby for a very long time and if i can help people prevent stupid mistakes by posting my stupid mistakes,why not help others.
I'm not SHY!
 
As my dear dad stated to me in my early teen years.....

.............. "I thought I made a mistake once, but I was mis-informed !!"
