Question
how to get flywheel bolts out when moyor is locked up 2000 pot.grand am gt 3500sfi taking motor out

Answer
Hi james:

there is an not so easy way and one hard way. not so easy is to take the oil pan off while the engine is in the car still and looen up the rod/main bolts as to be able to turn the crank. the harder way sort of is to drop the entire powertrain out the bottom of the car if you have a lift leave the powertrain sitting on 4 jack stands and lift the body off and then take the engine off the tramission with the toque converter still attached to the flywheel. You will then need a new troque converter seal for the tranmission. there is not easy way around this issue. sorry.

Good luck :-}
