The flywheel bolts are stuck? Do they look like they have been locktited on? WD-40 and a pop with a hammer, or a breaker bar on the open end.

Righty tighty lefty loosey?

PG? T350?

I recal PG converter bolts having a nut on the back side - the others a threaded boss on the converter. Have you tried soaking with PB blaster?

If you have a crappy old wrench you could weld an extension handle to it for more leverage.

Just thinking out loud, sorta.

Thanks for the replies, 700r4 I'm sure there is locktite on them. I will soak them and try again. 14mm wrench not a lot of room to get a socket in there.Will try again in the morn. Thanks

Have you tried removing the starter and using a 6 point socket with a ratchet? And I thought those were 15mm.

Starter is out, I was turning the convertor so the nut was at the bottom, I could position the bolt where the starter was. Got a buddy coming over to help. I'll get back on it in the morn. Thanks

Neonblue: 15mm! Like someone else said, use a 6pt socket and put something long on the end for leverage.

And a flywheel wrench to hold the flywheel.
