[T3] Oil cooler seals.

[bobsnotch at aol.com]

 Yup, I used a 1/2" IR impact way back when I did her car in the late 90's. It worked just fine back then. If I were to do it now, I'd probably do it the same way, or modify a Torque Miester to bolt onto the flexplate. That way I could I could use a torque wrench to tighten it up to spec.

When I last did this was 1997 and a tech at Ford where I worked lent me his
3/4" drive torque wrench. I used a long angle iron on two flex plate bolts
long end on the floor and that lifted the engine. All I know is it was a
real pain . I see videos now only with the clutch and they use a red lock
tight and a 1/2 impact gun. I have a 1/2 Impact yet I know it's not as
powerful as the IR I used to have. I think Bob did his flex plate on his
wifes auto that way.
