Thank you..My mechanic is having a hard time getting them off with an impact gun..

I'm not doing a mod..The rear main is leaking and the water pump.. I'm going to sell it and get an 05 or 06 GTO M6

Hopefully he has better luck with the top bellhousing bolts...

Just me but I would never use a impact on converter bolts too much chance to round off the heads and would be a bad job to drill them out, I use 36 " of pipe on my breaker bar, and a home made tool to lock the flywheel and reinstall with new bolts each time
just my 0.02

My torque converter bolts were stuck also . Didnt use an impact gun either .Then the heads stripped out Had to drill 2 of mine out .Wasnt fun

Its because there is lock tight on them..He is going to heat them up a bit..I own a shop,so we have all the tools we need. Then I found out it needed a water pump.. Gotta get it done so I can sell it..Its a clean and tight car for having 123k on it.. Gonna ask about $6995..

Yup a little heat will help. Also, I used a long *** extension that put me up by the steering rack. I got much better access that way.
