I'm currently (slowly) stripping a 2.7 eta lump and I've hit a snag.

I can't get the torque converter off the crank (crank still in block).

I've undone the 3 bolts that hold the starter ring on but I can't see anymore to undo.

I am open to suggestions

Tap with soft mallet and it should drop off.
Put some soft material down for it to land on
Or your foot if you are into that sort of thing

Tryed pulling, tapping beating, swearing and kicking - all to no avail

Just keep giving it a wiggle, all of the sudden it will pop off. I was doing one the other day and just as I was getting annoyed, it flew off to the ground via my head. :cheese:
