I can't fnd the item number on Harbor Freight's website. But try this: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
Item # WMR-W80510
In a pinch, a big screwdriver can also be used to turn the flexplate as ta4me says.

The pry bar or long H.D. screwdriver goes in between the teeth and then you use the transmission bellhousing as the lever fulcrum. This is a very slow process to rotate an engine 360*, but you have a huge amount of leverage.

Is there a gap between the flexplate and the torque converter when you are installing the t.c. bolt(s)? Is the trans fully bolted to the engine, with all the bolts tightened and nothing caught between the engine and trans mounting surfaces?

Mission accomplished!!!!

Thanks for all the help guys and ideas. I really appreciate it

I used the 5/8" socket and 1/2" breaker bar. I tired it yesterday with a 3/8" flex head rachet and 5/8" socket and it didn't work so good.

I didn't want to Tarzan it like I have done in the past and break something! Is the main reason I wanted to make sure something wasn't going to break.

Thanks again to everyone who responded.
