Re: [FWDLK] Engine removal - need help

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike72@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The safest way is to leave the converter in the transmission. If you can
access the nuts on the crankshaft flange you can unbolt the converter
from the motor, leaving it in the front of the trans. Its a good idea to
try and secure the converter rearwards with a piece of wire so it doesn't
slide out and spill oil everywhere while you're busy with hoisting the
engine.
