I am removing my N* from my 96 Eldo. I am in need of info on how to remove the fly-wheel to converter bults. They look like they will be a big issue for me.

If you remove the plate that fastens to the oil pan and transmission housing, and remove the brace that goes from the transmission housing to the motor mount bracket stud, you can remove the inspection plate. It is held on with a small 10mm bolt at the top front. Then as you rotate the flexplate, you will see the bolts come around. You will need an extension, and an 18mm universal socket. They do have threadlocker on them, and can require some force to remove. An impact wrench is ideal.
