Guest Fred P Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hi list, This might be the dumb question of the week but, whats the best way to turn a 350 to loosen the torque converter from the flywheel? My L-26 had a big bolt or nut on the end of the crankshaft. The 350 has a pulley with 4 little bolts and something like a big round weight behind it. I don't want to throw something out of balance. Should I remove the bottom pulley? Will it come off easily? Or should I take a big pry bar to the flywheel? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted January 31, 2003 Share Posted January 31, 2003 You should still have a bolt on the crank at the front . Maybe you need to pull off the pulleys to see it? Ohterwise a flat screwdriver on the teeth of the flexplate should work. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted February 1, 2003 Share Posted February 1, 2003 Even better than Tim's suggestion is a dedicated flywheel turner. Pick one up from the tool truck or I know Harbor freight has them. Most parts stores as well. If you loosen the belts and pull the plugs, most likely you can push the flywheel by hand and rotate the engine.
