54Illinois Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Has anybody made or bought this wrench for removing the converter from the crankshaft? The instructions mention the Hy Drive, but the PowerFlite has the same offset. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 I have two of them-5/8" and 11/16". You can use regular wrenches too. The special wrenches make R&R work on the couplings very fast and easy. Quote
54Illinois Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 Those look great. I forget the nut size. I used a regular wrench pulling the motor, but I had the rear crank seal off, along with the oil pan. I would like to find one so I can install the motor fully assembled. Any idea where you purchased those? Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 I bought them from a Chrysler Plymouth dealership auction a long time ago. Quote
Frank Elder Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 Wouldn't be nice to borrow Mr. Peabody's wayback machine and order every Miller tool Chrysler used on these cars. Quote
Niel Hoback Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 They're out there, you just gotta look for 'em. Made is USA by Crescent tools. I found these in a tool store in Anchorage Alaska about four years ago. Quote
Dodgeb4ya Posted December 18, 2011 Report Posted December 18, 2011 To make that set of Cresent wrenches work as the factory style wrenches you need to grind the box end at a slight angle for easy access to the crank nuts-kinda tight up in there. OAL Length is 17". Quote
54Illinois Posted December 18, 2011 Author Report Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks for the info! I was going to try to work off your photos! Quote
Niel Hoback Posted December 19, 2011 Report Posted December 19, 2011 I just saw a set of twisted wrenches at Menards. They were a little thinner than the Crescent brand and would probably be easieer to use, or even modify if needed. Gearwrench was the brand name. They are sold individually or in sets. Quote
