Rotate torque converter as you slide it in, much easier to do with shaft vertical. Change the center shaft o-ring on the Tcase while you have it apart. Several threads and videos on that.

Transfer case needs to be off to change the center shaft o-ring anyway. Get a 5 gal bucket, lay a couple 2x4's across the mouth and put the transmission on end with the shaft sticking down in the bucket.

Torque converter in flipping it on end was easier. I had 3 clunks as it dropped in and this is how it looks.

Put a little grease on the nose of the converter and on the bellhousing alignment dowels to help is slide in.

Bolt a 2x4 across the front with some bubblewrap padding between the 2x4 and converter.
