How does everyone rotate the converter to get to all the bolts?

I think when I installed mine I rotated the front balancer with a breaker bar and had a second person watching the convertor

You can't rotate the converter once the Trans is bolted up....turning the engine over only spins the flex plate. You need to get the torque converter in the correct orientation before you put the Trans up, so the bolts line up. If u rotate the flex plate til U get the converter to line up there is no way of telling if u have the correct orientation. As I'm assuming U have a dpc converter and they are for 6.0 and 6.4's. So have 6 or 8 hole patterns

You can't bolt the trans up unless the converter studs are through the flexplate though.
With a precision converter you're correct.

Yea I'm running the precision and it came with bolts. I had to turn the engine over to line everything up

I build a bump switch out of a window switch, works great. On precision converters it has bolts. I lined up one hole put bolt in, when you get to the next hole you will know if its right or not. If its not just bump it back over remove bolt and try again, that's how I did mine anyway.
