727 big block trans converter tighten/untighten tricks
Thanks for the replies. I could have used the wife or someone to hold crankshaft bolt but that would not likely work on reinstall due to crank direction may loosen crank bolt when tightening torque converter bolts and I was by myself. I didn't see anyway to jamb wood in there but I did find using a dirt bike tire iron I could wedge it into the bottom down low against teeth while using one hand other hand on the wrench on bolt, once the tire iron wedged I added second wrench over first for leverage worked out great. I don't see how you can torque these nuts with a ratchet/socket torque wrench no room for that.
