Was that a 3/8 extension? Try 1/4 next time for more fun.

Yes sir! Harbor frieght 3 ft extention even . Atleast i used my "crappy" snap on ratchet. Btw, brian left you a drawing on my converter for you and sal to see when i bring it for a refresh down the road .

Trick to loosen locktited bolts (probably doesn't apply here):

Locktite is plastic. It gets softer starting at 250 deg. Get bolts hot and they unscrew easy.

That looks like a balancer more than a converter or am I looking at the wrong video?

looks like they are going through the starter hole. i was a bit confused too till they mentioned a 3' extension . the ratchet on the balancer is to keep the motor from turning

Ok, that makes sense.

Mine were so tight i had to use my half inch drive impact to loosen them.... Yea they suck

 

[madmatt]

Yeah i use a 1/2 gun with a 18 or 24" extension that reduces to 3/8 with a 15mm swivel socket on it. works fine.

No, actually it would be to move the converter on to the next bolt . The motor will stop when the socket/extension hits the block.

No it was to hold the engine from turning over and rotating to the next tc bolt. i dont like letting the engine rotate till he extention/socket hits the block or edge of the opening, with that much extention it can lead you to stripping a bolt head if the bolt decides to rotate up/down away from the opening as you twist. i was holding the bar as i filmed as it only took a little force to hold it form turing.
