I am in the process of pulling my 65 - 289 from my 2+2. Everything was going fine until it came time to remove the bolts that connect the torque converter to the flex plate. The inspection cover has been removed, in fact the car came without one. I went to break loose the first bolt using a 12 point socket. My wife is trying to keep the crank from rotating using a socket on the front pulley bolt. Well I managed to round the flex plate bold head off. I switched to a 6 point and not getting anywhere as it just wants to twist off.
I have more flexplate bolts to remove but I need to figure this out before I do anymore damage. What are my options, anybody?
