You don't say but if it's an E4OD then the TC nuts are 13MM, a six point socket is better to use, at least that is what I have used on the last four I've done. They are self locking nuts and should never be re used. Just why are you changing the TC? If it has blown up then you better pull the pan, and your aux cooler, if you have one, it will possibly be full of junk also the cooler coils in the radiator.

Those Erwin bolt extractors are great. I use mine alot. And not very expensive. I think you can get a set at Advanced for about $30

Might be a good excuse to buy one of these:

You must be registered for see images attach

I don't own one, but a guy was telling me how he uses his all the time to cut off bolt heads and he even used it to cut copper pipe on a water line in a place that was so tight he couldn't get a regular pipe cutter wheel in there...

Might be worth a try.

get a set of striped nut remover

Six point metric socket is your friend. Take your friend and beat it on the nut with a hammer. It should come right off.

Don't forget to cuss at it. A little sweet talking will make easier.

i got it off!!! i did exactly what tracksspeeder said!! thanks!

Benton, your BEST bet here is a NUT SPLITTER!!!!

You will have LOTS of room, don't damage threads if done right and you can STILL sell that TC to a transmission shop afterwards as a rebuildable core.

Good luck with it all buddy.

I should also mention this is the hydraulic version, but I have 3 sizes of MANUAL versions....you just wind it in with a wrench and it will cut the nuts off.

glad you got it

Ive always had good luck with just tacking/welding on a larger bolt. I just removed my torque converter too....so now that I think about it...maybe a bit limited on space to tack weld a nut on there.

The socket or cussing at it?

 

[benton]

both!

 

[trackspeeder]

The cussing works every time.

Big stress reliever!
