I'm in the process of pulling the 440 out of my Coronet. I've pulled engines in the past and have always been able to remove the flex plate bolts with a 3/4" box wrench. It wasn't easy but it worked. This car is not cooperating - 3 of the 4 came loose but the 4th is being stubborn. I've used 50/50 trans fluid/acetone, WD-40, still can't break it loose.
I've heard of people removing engines with the t/c still attached. The FSM warns that the t/c must be removed with the tranny otherwise front pump damage can occur.
Has anybody pulled an engine with the t/c still attached? My alternatives are to pull the eng/tranny together or drop the oil pan so I can get a socket on the bolt.
