Thread: Disco tdv6 torque converter removal

Hi all I'm in the process off swapping the 6hp26 into my sport from a disco 3 but am having a major problem finding a adequate way to get access to the inspection hole above were the starter motor was the engine is still on both mounts and the starter motor is sitting between the bell housing and right engine mount. I can't get enough leverage out of the wheel well, as the area is cramped how do you get access with out pulling turbos engine mounts ect out of the way. Can you use a long extension bars down the side of the engine so I can get enough leverage on the bolts with a braker bar. If not is there a way that I haven't thought of or a trick to getting out.

Thanks in advance

I remove the starter completely. I also remove the fuel cooler, just because I broke a line once. After they are removed just undo them with a 1/2 inch ratchet and socket.
The exhaust cross over pipe mounts are not the easiest to get at and come out in 3 pieces
