Crankshaft Oil seal

Umm, there's a hint in the description:

Removes and installs upper rear main seals without dropping crankshaft.

If there's an upper seal, there's probably a lower. Meaning two piece. Which is definitely not on your S10.

Actually Elliott, there is absolutely nothing that scares me.

And the schools you went to and the state you live in.

Ya see why I think you're an embarrassment?

I don't have wealth, at least not how you half assed imply, but then again, I didn't squander my education and my life. Given what you've inferred your age to be, can you honestly say that you've met your responsibilities to your wife and children? From where I sit, it looks like you've pissed it all away on jalopies and half baked scheme to re-live your childhood with your bigger better junkier Tonka trucks.

Like I said. He doesn't have the first clue.

IOWs, that one was a dead center bulls eye.

I'd be interested in seeing how he gets the flex-plate off the converter STUDS

You see, Fords have STUDS sticking out of the converter, not bolts like a Chevy

But in your rush to call everyone else a liar, you forgot that little dertail, if indeed you ever knew it...........

Ok guys, the time and energy put into this degenerating argument is far more than changing the seal using ANY method, including doing it through a 3" hole cut into the cab floor :) The origional poster "Denbigh" has probably been driving around with the new seal since saturday afternoon. When it resorts to name calling nothing can be proved from a technical perspective. B

True. I wonder sometimes if he is some old troll from this group yanking our collective chains.

No he is in training at *THE* best troll ever devised. He is actually a goverment funded AI program that finds exactly what will annoy the piss out of a particular NG & does just that. They plan on sending him to the moon next!!

I would agree. This is the problem with Elliott's scenario. You might be able to get the flex plate bolts out, but the converter will not come back far enough for the ring gear section of the flex plate to slide between the end of the crank and the center nose of the torque converter. At least on any of the many vehicles I've done flex plates on. And believe me, I've gotten flex plates out of FWD vehicles without removing the transmission completely, but I've always had to move the transmission back at least an inch or two.

I've never seen any torque converter that will move back from the flex plate 1 inch. Non, not one. Maybe Elliott ran into the one torque converter in the universe that will move that far back.....in that case I bow to his good fortune and luck.

Elliott, are you an evangelical Christian? If so, you would be well advised to stop using your faith and theology as some sort of weapon in the discussions. It doesn't work, and frankly it's pathetic. Plenty of us here I'm sure have a background in this type of thing, and it only exposes your lack of knowledge of Christian theology. The fact that you cannot see the point that Neil was making is obvious in your reply.

Plus, no-one is ever going to be converted or impacted by a statement such as: "go watch The Passion and get real with God". This type of stuff only tends to confirm in peoples mind that the Christian tends to be a simpleton. A view, I might add, that I don't share. But I can see why it's out there.

I can only guess a roman catholic - Elliot Rietese or whatever - Spanish all over.

I know it moves back "quite a bit" on a TH700R4 but I don't think it moves back THAT much. Now at the risk of being another elliot I think on a TH700R4 attached to a

305/350 what you could get a wrench up on the bolts up there. But I have NEVER done it. I'm pretty sure that the plate is flat as well. But then the bolts might be recessed in a little pocket & only accessible with a socket, and then you'd need to pull the tranny back.

OK Guys I've had enough on this thread. For the negative exchanges - I'm sorry - felt fustrated with the attacks and responded when it would have been better to ignore them. You can obviously think whatever you want, ie: choose not to believe I've changed a flex plate on an 85 S-10 without touching the bell housing. The bolts on the engine I have on a stand (2.8) are 17mm (fits better than 11/16"). Have fun pulling those trannys back. Elliott

Yes, you can reach the bolts. Which is really irrelevant if you have ever actually tried to break loose those bolts with a wrench. If you don't have the "perfect" wrench, and the bolt is at all tighter then usual, you stand a great chance of rounding off the head of the bolt and then you are screwed. The head of these bolts is very shallow and I always found that (after moving the transmission back a bit) you needed to put a good quality 6 point socket on the bolt in order to loosen them without rounding off the corners.

Ian

Hey watch it man, I'm Catholic...............

Doc

Not to mention I'm sure you would have to torq the bolts. I forgot to mention you would need the 'perfect' open ended wrench, one with practically no spread. (Though I had thought of it). Last fly wheel I took off I used an impact wrench. But believe you me, didn't go on that way.... That's reserved for Elliot's penis pump.
