So, I've never had to do a lot of work on the 4.0 lower end. What's the story on checking the torque converter bolts? Pop off an inspection plate? Take out the starter?

how much would you spend on a 2 post lift??? i saw one on clist today for $1000
its only a 7k lift, but it was in great shape...got me thinking...like a lot. the subaru is a pain in the ass to get under, and it would be awesome for working on the j10 when it comes time...
worth it???

You can get new for 1300-1500. I would probably go for one at 1k.
I keep talking myself out of one even though it would make a lot of things easire.

I always turned to the next bolt by goosing the starter (wheels chocked, neutral/park, transfer case in neutral, etc) with a wrench across the solenoid+power studs. Probably not the best idea, but it works quite nicely. Mark each bolt with a paint pen after you torque it so you can tell which you haven't done yet.

Or you can get the proper flexplate tool from the parts store.

Good to know. I suppose I'll crawl under there sometime when I have the gumption. So...when they fall out.

link doesn't work for me... I don't believe in flexplates anymore though, if I have problems with them, I do a flexplate/trans cooler delete and put a flywheel based unit in instead.
don't wait that long, unless you like holes in your bellhousing and possibly a trashed starter and CPS.

Well, no. I won't wait that long. It has me nervous as is. Soon though. Within the weekend.
