I'm pulling a customers trans and every bolt on the bell housing to engine is the tightest bolts I've ever dealt with. I've impacted them torched them used multiple angles to push and pull on the wrench but they won't budge. Like I said ive use a torch an impact and good old muscle. And tips or trick left? I'm using the correct tools so it's not that.

your talking about the 4 from the trans to bell ? or the ones from bell to block ?
if bell to block...have you pulled the trans from the bell yet? give you a lot of room then and really shouldnt be a problem.
if your not doing a clutch or rear main (which you kinda should every time the trans is out) thats the easiest way to do it

Heat really hot with a torch, cool down quick with water. Tighten a little first if possible, then loosen. Usually works well for me.

Triple b what you talking about? Anyways I'm using a nice little adjustable rate husky impact on a very nice size compressor. My trick to let the trans sag a little but to access those hi top bolts on the trans case to bell didn't work. I'm going back in with a fresh attitude and I'll get it all done whether the car behaves or not lol

Put the impact away if ur workin at any angle and get out the breaker bar and jack handle. Solve any problem ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
If heat didn't help then use MORE heat.

id remove the trans from the bell then..... heat and a longer cheater bar will do it. there should be enuff with minimal universal usage that an extension on a ratchet and a fence post or some other pipe will allow you to REALLY amplify the torque. and if it breaks off....then just drill them out and retap later no big deal

yep put that thing way up on the jackstands last rung (of course when that high i pref. more than two and a good shake down test before you go under) bb, jack handle, let that fucker sag till the motor mounts scream, maybe a lil seafoam penetration oil, i like to feel out dif positions, you'd be suprised how much more leverage comes from changin your perspective, then show them bolts the mad face... ![[Mad]](mad.gif)
