We need this tool...unless there's another way to pop the converter off the taper

Got the same issue too... I'm getting one made up (eventually) but did get a torque convertor off last week, but it need the oxy' to remove it...

Problems with an auto by any chance ?

No not the box, I have to change a busted ring.... and the block has to come off.
I've heard of ice and a burner...and a ruddy great big bloke on a crowbar

What's it look like? I rescued a load of 18G tools out of a neighbours garage - there was various pullers but I'm no where near them to check part numbers.

Then it came to me. What we had was two pieces of metal in intimate contact with each other, not wanting to budge. The solution? Heat and Cold!! If we could find a way to heat up the flex plate while simultaneously cooling the crankshaft, maybe we could make some progress. We rounded up a propane torch, a bowl of ice cubes, a sledgehammer, and two crowbars. Soon we developed a system of heating the converter (just to the point of seeing the transmission fluid begin to smoke), deftly applying the ice cube to the end of the crankshaft, and then quickly flailing away with the sledge while prying with all our might on the edge of the converter. After about ten minutes of this activity, we were rewarded with a loud BANG, as the converter popped loose and landed on the floor.

i take it this is what your looking for?

Cowboy - can you stick a photo of the puller up please?

[Guess-Works.com]

Hi Cowboy, if you want to loose it in this direction

Can use it as a pattern to get some more made up...

For reference the PCD is between 70 and 75mm ( cant remeber exactly what it is off hand )

and Louise666, if you need a pattern to make up the gaskets I can scan a set in which only took me about 3 months to get hold of ( the rear is the same as the manual but the front is different ) as Yet I've not managed to source a transfer case gasket for the auto...

[louise66]

Thanks guys for the help

I never gave the gaskets a thought!!

[miniboo]

Not the best of scans but the book i have is massive and hard to fit in the scanner.

it is at the top called converter remover
