It only slips onto the input shaft in the gearbox. Use a screwdriver or the like to brace the flex plate when you undo it. You can also chuck a breaker bar and a socket onto the harmonic balancer bolt and let it brace on the floor. It's heavy as crap so when you pull the last bolt out make sure you're holding it onto the flex plate or it will just fall off. There converter has a little choad that sits in the crank so it will fall off pretty easily.

I've got three bolts loose so last one should be simple with that advice.

It should come loose with no bracing at all. You just gotta turn the motor until it's on a compression stroke. That's when it gets harder to turn. Be careful not to strip the head of the bolt though, it's gotta be lined up dead straight. You'll get it mate.

Put the other ones back in and just nip them up until you crack that last one. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/916/#findComment-1661911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to use a second spanner as an extension, brace a chisel against a brick I had a foot on, and sit on the engine so it didn't move. Thanks again guys!Engine picked up and gone. I'm basically down to transmission, cat, steering wheel, wheels and a few panels now so will strip it next weekend ready for metal recycling.Not bad for two weeks! 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/80918-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/916/#findComment-1661930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
