torque converter nuts

[coolsun]

Im try to get to the torque converter nuts. I found the little window in front of the tranny but i cant seem get on the nuts with a socket. Anyhelp would be great. Its an 03 f-250 6.0l an im removing the engine to install a new one.


thanks
Steve

semi deep 3/8 drive socket works wonderfully.

in the oposite side of engine block of the starter (driver side) pull plastic cover off -better acces

That works too, but I think it's easier to get them out from the bottom hole.

Ditto


Crank the engine around to get to the rest.

Thank you guys for the input. I was able to get to them from the opposite side of the starter a lot easier( thanks huj). But as forthe socket I had to use a 9/16 cuz they were already buggered up pretty bad. But I got the engine out lastnight and all stripped to be used as a core.

That's what "flame wrenches" are for.
