JeepcoMJ Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 is there a trick to it? i know it's *in theory* supposed to just pull out...but i've not ONCE worked on an aw4 that it pulled right out of...i've always ended up just cutting the tube in some space or another but this time that isn't an option...it's GOT to be saved. i'm spraying pb blaster (i hate pb blaster btw...it smells like crap and WHOA does it get EVERYTHING oily) on it to see if that loosens it up...

JeepcoMJ Posted April 29, 2007 Author Share Posted April 29, 2007 I pryed on the dipstick support (part that bolts into the front of the bellhousing to keep it from wobbling) with a large flathead screwdriver. came out easy as pie..pb blast the seam, pry on the support (pry location is the bellhousing) and *pop* flexplate is CRACKED completely around the bolts. you can see the nice big one, but it's cracked completely around and the tranny is hella dirty. what year flexplates can be used in them?
