Default Torque Converter Bolt direction

the 4 bolts that hold the torque converter to the flex plate, if you're looking at the bolt from the back, does it loosen, if you turn it to the left, or to the right ?


Just wondering if it has reverse threads or not, it does not want to budge either direction....

Got the torque converter off (normal rotation) and flex plate and balancer, and need to know how to get the hex head bolts off ... that's holding the crank in ...

I've used a impact gun, doesn't turn it hard enough ...

any other suggestions ?

1/2" inch breaker bar,, a impact is only as good as the volume of air you have.

How do I stop the crank from turning, my wife is only so strong holding the front, and I can't break the bolt loose and hold it at the same time, haha

Use a strap wrench on the crank pulley.
