Hello again,
I broke another damn flexplate..
Mikes diesel replaced the last one and it lasted about 9 months. The flexplate is still under warranty but the work is not. I did some research and the crankshaft spacer is different for manual to auto. The engine I put in had manual pins (1st/2nd flexplate) then I had a bad shop that was supposed to switch the pins to auto from my old engine but couldn't get them seated all the way so cut them flush and said it was good (3rd flexplate) then a couple grand later at mikes with a new torque converter, front seal on the trans, hardware, and they checked the engine adapter/bellhousing etc,..
So the only thing that is left is this crankshaft spacer.
How do I get it off?! I got the wear ring off it. Not seeing any other seems to attack or finding anything useful in searches. I can't keep driving it, can't afford a shop.. I have done the work before. Just don't want to use the usual "bigger hammer" method on my crankshaft.
Thanks to anyone who chimes in.
