I did mine by myself and it's an Automatic for sure.

Did you remove the fan shroud first? That has to come out first.

I used a Lisle three pronged puller with no problem, I also used a pulley installer tool but you can do it with the supplied longer bolt.

OK, you have to remove the fan shroud with the fan. First disconnect the two expansion tanks from the shroud. Just leave the connections in tact and push them to the drivers side. Disconnect the electric plug to the fan on the pass side of the fan shroud. Then there is just one small bolt on either side of the shroud (near the top) and lift it out. it takes a little jockeying but it just sits in a slot on the bottom so no bolts. Then there is plenty of room for almost any puller.

If you pull that shroud you should be able to use the puller you already have. Try it before yo buy another puller.

Getting the bolt off is easier than reinstalling and torqing the new bolt. Just put your car into gear and set the hand brake and you should have no trouble with the bolt. This whole install is LOT easier with the shroud outa there.

Here's a good write up from another forum that explains some of this for you.

How did you hold the torque converter?

Beauch · Jan 16, 2010

If you use an impact it takes about 1/2 second to crack the bolt loose. You don't need to "hold" anything. The link from TMS is a good one and the one I followed.

Greg Hazlett · Jan 16, 2010

Any Advance or Autozone should lend you the pulley puller instead of you having to buy one.

On an auto, you can't torque the crank bolt unless you somehow lock the torque converter. And that TMS link? :roflmao:

Look who wrote it.

Like this, it takes about 5 minutes to attach the tool and remove it again. It will hold the flexplate to loosen the cranlk bolt or to torque it to Ford specs.

on my manual was completely easy, just put car in 4th and pull ebrake up....gotta love a manual lol

RedFire07GT · Jan 16, 2010

eah it ended yup being a hardr install then what it was, All my three prong pulley removers were to big for my car. Ive got alot of tools from my dad b/c he was a mechanic but he also worked on trucks, the three prong removers he ahd were huge lol. so i did rent a smaller one form autozone and it worked fine.

i did have the car in gear with ebrake on.

Casey4s · Jan 17, 2010

Glad to hear you got it taken care of.

Where do I get one of these tools?

What is it called and where can I get it?

Thanks,

Wayne

I made the "Flexplate Holder" in my garage and I am in the process of acquiring a patent through a tool company in Iowa.

You just need to be smarter than the torque converter. Steeda suggests holding the flexplate with a wrench. Well good luck with that, it would take two people and I really doubt you could actually hold it safely that way.

It's a guy named "Taco Bill" from TMS who has a lot of really decent write ups. Some guys need a little outside help to do some of these add ons others don't.
