LB7: Engine removal lb7

[alan4cowboys1]

I got a lb7 duramax with Alison tranny. I have the engine ready to pull and I got the all 9 bellhousing and 6 torq converter bolts out and the transmission still Jack's up with the engine.. the bell housing hasn't separated from the engine at all..

Double check to make sure you got all the bolts out of the bellhousing, the very top one is a sneaky

All are out. Do you have to separate fly wheel from torq converter after unbolting them

No, it wouldn't move back much they are close.

Edit, done that already...

 

[alan4cowboys1]

So do you just push the torq convertor back?

Jack the trans up and stick the tip of a prybar in the gap. Slowly let the jack down and the wedge shape of the pry bar will slide the two apart.

You don't think that will mess anything up?

Nothing to mess up. You already took the flexplate bolts out.

Yes I did but the torq converter still spins with the flywheel

Stick a pry bar in the inspection cover area. You'll have to try pretty hard to hurt anything

 

[alan4cowboys1]

Do you mean where the starter is?

Spray some PB blaster on the dowls, call it a night, then pry it apart tomorrow. Don't over stress it, use the trans jack to move it side to side, up and down. It'll come out. Like Corbin said you'll have to pry pretty hard to mess something up.

Alright I alright I sprayed almost half of my pb on the dowls already. I'll see what happens tomoorow
