Something concerning

But to answer the reason back removing the 904 and why it wouldn’t come out was because I couldn’t see the bolts inside the bell housing connecting the torque converter to the flex plate haha … well with all that tugging and pulling with the rope Imactually cracked the flex plate and had to replace it … bigger hammers don’t always work as expected hahaha

Laying on my back, I can't get far enough away from the vehicle anymore to see what I'm doing (eyesight).
Aughh, yes, hot(ish) transmission fluid running into your armpits...
Some (many??) of us learned by taking stuff apart and hopefully getting it back together! Those WERE the days!

Yeah the propeller TIP speed is near 200 mph on the large units when at their 19 rpm redline. Working near them for several days, we had quite the carpet of dead birds on the ground.
 
Are we still hoing this poor thread??

Guess that's what happens when OP doesn't give regular updates!!!
