Torque Converter Seperation

[CircleTrackSHO]

Anyone ever have any problems getting the torque converter hub out of the end of the crank ?

I just did one this morning , once the 4 nuts are out , it separates real easy.

We have had a rare case from time to time. However, it is not common.

we had to use a big gorilla bar to get them separated.. but we did.

Uh, the torque converter doesn't touch the crank. The torque converter bolts to the flex plate with the starter ring gear on it. This in turn bolts to the crank with a reinforcing ring in between the two.

Is this in some other type of car maybe?

^ and a tree. More torque just would have pulled the second truck more easily.
