FZJ80 1FZFE How to Remove the Torque Converter and. Flex Plate Bolts - To Get the Engine on a Stand

In this video we remove the torque converter and the flex plate to finally get it on an engine stand. The torque converter bolts came off easily. But the flex plate bolts were stuck and very difficult to remove. We had to use a torch with lots of heat, and also an impact to remove the flex plate bolts. It took a while, but it finally worked!!

Close call with that bolt on the flex plate. That's weird. I guess someone has been in there before?

Looked like someone was in there before for sure. Maybe they tried to beat it up with a chisel to unscrew the bolt? I'm so glad it came out without a fight, it could have easily become a pain in the butt.
