Mark the converter and drive plate to aid in re-
assembly. The crankshaft flange bolt circle, the inner
and outer circle of holes in the drive plate, and the
four tapped holes in the front face of the converter
all have one hole offset so these parts will be installed
in the original position. This maintains the balance
of the engine and converter.
(6) Rotate the engine with the remote control
switch to locate two converter to drive plate bolts at
"5 and 7 o'clock" positions. Remove the two bolts,
rotate the engine with switch and remove the other
two bolts.
CAUTION: Do not rotate the converter or drive
plate by prying with a screw driver or similar tool
as the drive plate might become distorted. Also,
the starter should never be engaged if the drive
plate is not attached to the converter with at least
