torque converter bolts
 
is there a better way to get them off, they are fkn hard as hell to untighten. i need to get i think 4 off. and i need a better way then to just arm and leg it.

any suggestions?

thanks

is that right?

use leverage(sp) take a piece of decently thick pipe , slide it over the end of the wrench and then try.

but then i have to worry about (i think its the flywheel) moving

Get air tools if you don't want to 'arm and leg it.' If you don't want to buy them, maybe you can rent.

i gotta worry about buying a motor first. so i can get my car moving again. buying or even renting would put me back some.

plus there is a type of shield in the way, allowing me only an incha of space.

ill try and get some pics explaining my problem
