Default Crank Bolt with Auto

How do you get the bolt cracked if you cant get to the flexplate? I have the tool but I dont see anywhere to put it with the tranny hooked up...

I have a couple of friends saying that an impact gun may work without even having to hold the flexplate

Screwdriver that will not bend easily wedged in there. Thats what I had to do the three times I've done it.

I wedge a breaker bar on the frame and bump the starter. Regardless of how you get it off you'll have to grab the flywheel with a tool or screwdriver to get it back on and torqued to spec.
