I'm going to pull it to the lift tomorrow and borrow the beast from my friend Larry. It's a 25 year old mac 1/2 drive air impact that for some reason is able to bring off nuts and bolts that the guys with new snap-ons can't. I think it isn't as much the raw torque as the insane hammer action.

Like I said I can cut the bottom and side bolts but probably not the tops so I'm going for them first. If they don't come off then I'm pulling the entire assembly.

The torque converter nuts are in plain sight and look easy to get to, at least one thing went right.

I prefer pulling the transmission and engine together,it seems easier to me.
I use a 1/2" drive impact a lot,it's gotten bolts out countless times that I couldn't budge by hand using a breaker bar.
