Torque converter bolts This may be a stupid question, but do you get to the torque converter bolts by taking the starter out and go through that hole? This is on a 98 TA (LS1). Thanks for any help!

some are the 8mm hex ones. use a name brand tool, otherwise it'll round them out. If you want to make the job easier, you should probably get a torch to heat them up, otherwise even an impact will not break them loose in some cases.

The bolts on my '02 were a 15mm bolt, with the hex in the middle!
But yeah, even on my '02 (not that old really) the bolts were in there pretty tight!
