replacing torque converter seal

NAXJA Forum User
well my last thread didn't really come up with any results, but im going to go with a torque converter seal, and just replace that.

so....any body done this, and whats the easiest way to do it. heres what im thinking....correct me if im wrong

1) pull f/r driveshafts
2) pull t-case
3) undo all bellhousing bolts from back of motor (anybody know how hard these are to get to, or any tips)
4) undo 4 bolts flex plate assembly

and drop her down

missing anything...any tips to make it easier
 
hardest part of getting the bellhousing bolts off are the two top torx head bolts. you need an e12 torx socket(atleast thats what i needed on my 89)
 
I would just keep the T-case on the trans.

drop the cross member, lower the trans with a jack so you can get to the two top torx bolts easier.
don't forget to take the starter out and pull the trans cooler lines and the shift linkage.
Oh and the 4 bolts connecting the fly wheel to the torque converter.
