Default Looking for some help

Hey you guys, I'm a member over at g35driver and I'm in the middle of an engine swap and I'm stuck on the torque converter bolts and was wondering if you guys could help me out.

Engine is pulled and the tc is still attached to the crank but I can't remove the bolts holding the tc on. I understand that you have to crank the engine to spin the flywheel to make the bolts accessible but I really can't fit a socket on the bolt from the starter space and the other side on the passenger side.
Yea I can't even fit a socket in there. Any ideas?

Move all the bolts around untill you get all 4 bolts off.

You will need to get a Crawford wrench, like one of these.

Thanks for the replies, I'll try to obtain the Crawford wrench today and update this post. This has been a bit nerve wrecking because this is my first engine swap so everything is making me nervous lol

Ok even with that tool I can't access the bolts. It has to be something I'm missing. Any other ideas?
