- This ratcheting wrench helped a ton when working in tight spaces:

Having a stuck torque converter and flywheel is very common with engines that have seized up, or that have thrown rods, or will otherwise not turn. It is very difficult to get a good grip on the flywheel when trying to get the things to rotate. I found 2 ways that helped me get the job done though. Hopefully they can help someone else out as well.
This was done on a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but the applications I am sure will carry over to other makes and models.

Super interesting to find Jre doing the same stuff im doing now crazy how times have changed for him over so many years
Did it unstick the engine on my 2000 impala i put in too much blue devil n my engine got stuck or seized
I have a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica my motor was great no check engine light went I put it in drive the motor shuts off ???????????? Help anyone
going down the road 94 mazda truck cut out, recently put in a trans. found out torque converter has come loose, so is any way to rig up something to put back in place without taking transmission completely? thanks for your answer and time.... onebeachlover
I have the same problem. What were your symptoms? And how did u fix it??
What happen if it dont turn
Most locked up motors you can get it to spin backwards. The connecting rod is usually what breaks and wedges on the piston downstroke. Reversing the rotation you can get one spin out of the flywheel. Enough to get out the bolts/nuts. You have one go at it so get them as you go.
On mine it just loosens the bolt. Any idea why it would do that?
THAT WAS AWESOME. I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THAT YOU CAN PULL ON THE BIGGEST BELT IN YOU PULLY SYSTEM AND IT WOULD TURN . DON'T KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE , BUT YOUR METHOD ROCKS.
Word of advise take the bottom bell housing part off
I have a 2004 Silverado paid to have the transmission overhauled it kept going out on me so I kept taking it back to the mechanic shop several times he told me that transmission is good and what's causing it to go out is the crankshaft is failing causing it to have play so it pulls a torque converter out breaking the pump rotor I just want to know if this makes sense can someone help me out ?
Yes that’s true. Also, transmissions number 1 cause of failure is a bad engine. What your mechanic stated is true the worn crankshaft will cause too much play, the longer it wears the faster it will finally cause failure
So you're turning the flexplate while everything in the engine is not moving ? I want to know because I have the exact issue, i need the engine out but cant get to all of the flex plate bolts because my engine is locked up.
He's moving the flywheel not flex plate
@@christopherduby5330 if it has torque converter, it's flex plate. A manual transmissions would have flywheels. An automatic transmission would have a flexplate, they look a little bit skinnier than flywheels.
how can you diagnose the converter being siezed
Sensors, I guess?
Still not a answer to my question can I unseize a clutch on a tourqeconverter
No !
Was your torque converter having problems too?
How much cost
Good one..ty
Anyone try putting it in neutral and turning the flexplate???
Nun Ya shouldn’t matter what gear
Got a 2015 Chrysler Town and Country with a hydro locked engine, the window to unbolt the 4 bolts for the torque converter is very narrow and does not allows for this method, I was told by a mechanic i need to pull out the whole engine + transmission together in this case but I do not see how I will separate the two later on if can not access those bolts now wont be able to access then later with the whole thing out of the engine bay, another mechanic suggested to pull out the oil pan then the lower block to access the connecting rods caps underneath then unbolt each hopefully finding the one or ones damaged and freeing the crankshaft to rotate but another mechanic told me not to waste my time; it is twice the job pulling the tranny with the engine on these Chryslers; I do have 3 feet clearance underneath the van with a half lift and have also a joist but do not have a cart that would support the weight of the engine plus transmission, I thing that hydraulic cart I have from Harbor Freight only supports 500 pounds, I really do not see how will i separate the two but have to do something soon, just have no idea what exactly and no mechanic shops or dealer are off the equation, cant afford them
Might be too late since you commented a month ago but just seperate the engine and trans and carefully pull the engine away from the trans and the torque converter will come with it. You’ll need to use a wrench to remove the torque converter bolts then reinstall the torque converter on the trans before reinstalling new engine
Thanks
Put a socket on the crankshaft bolt and turn it.
If a crankshaft was put in backwards how would u get it out
Can get the crank to turn
@@heathcochran1161 I know the comments say 11 months old but you do realize that it is impossible to put a crankshaft in backwards right?
@@mudder93 This comment is 2 years old, but I am sure someone stupid enough said the crankshaft didn't fit and made it fit backwards somehow. Jerry Rig Mechanics are the best to clean up after lol
why not just turn the crank?
@@DW-pr9hk kind of,
@@DW-pr9hk if everything is still wired up, you can just slightly turn the key to make the engine turn over a bit, but that's if your starter is still inside. It looks like he removed the starter to try turning it from there as well besides where he was already turning it originally.
I have a 04 Chevy Silverado I replace alternator I replaced the battery and starter I recently redid the harmonic balance and put a different cam in now here’s my problem I can get in to try and start the truck all my lights and everything come on but no crank or start just a loud clunk like my engine is seized I get out I put a socket on the on the crankshaft bolt and it turns I go back to the truck I get in and I try to crank it over again and this time it cranks but no start now I try to start it one more time and it won’t even crank I have to redo the procedure I just did in order to keep trying to start it but it never starts what’s the problem? Can anyone help
just bump the motor over with ignition or pull plugs out it will turn easier
I - uh, hit the old starter with a hammer and tried it before I swapped it out with a new one.. Still no go.
You're begging to distort the flex plate like that. The rest of the world would put a socket and a ratchet on the crankshaft pulley bolt to turn the flex plate as needed.
The bolt will spin sometimes instead of the motor turnin over
I just put 305 motor and a 700r4 transmission in. now my torque converter want turn to let me put bolts in flywheel.
Did you solve this?
Loosen off your transmission bolts. You have it ran up too far. After you start torque converter then retighten transmission bolts.
Or just disconnect the rods and it’ll be easier
Brother plzzzz 😔
What in the actual fuck.
Damn
Cause rotating the crank from the otherside doesnt do anything 😞
Not if it’s seized it’s not
Pretty Smucking Fart!! Thanks Man!!
Oh bro just put it in netrul
Please do not use these methods... This is ignorant and how you get hurt and have to replace a flex plate later down the road
