Be sure you didnt untorque any of those bolts while the motor was turning. You wouldnt want that damper to come off.

heh, when I did mine I was like. "now what? how the heck do I keep this motor from turning" Then the light bulb when off, I have a manual! drop it in gear!

LOL, my fault. I wasn't trying to say I was trying to get a socket on a bolt head that was moving at 700 RPM. Would be funny/scary to watch some one try though.

What I was trying to say was that I can't get the bolt to break loose without the crank turning. Is there a way to keep the crank from turning so I can get the bolts loose?

jwilliams' link is for the barring tool. There is no place to jam a screw driver though a flywheel or balancer groove to prevent it from spinning. nothing on the belt system that will hold. If you had a manual, drop it in gear. Since you don't, you'll need hte barring tool and that will keep the motor from moving assuming you have the tool in place to keep it from spinning.

Pull the inspection cover from the bottom side of the transmission under the torque convertor and have a friend hold the teeth on the flex plate with a screwdriver.
