Lu,

Isnt there space between the oil pan and flexplate to get a wrench in? Is there 3 like a GM or more converter bolts? You may have to do it after the heads are off and lay the engine on the side to get the last one....Let me know what size the torque converter bolts are; If you need my wrench i will send it.

But how can I get to all the bolts if the torque converter is frozen?
Do I wedge the tool between the flex plate and the converter? Will it
fit?

counterclockwise direction to loosen the bolt. Use this method until
you have all three loose. You may have to keep some tension on the
lower on the wrench with your fingers while you tap it up higher on
the wrench. This has worked for me...but if you try it, take your
time and watch the fingers!
