Pulling Waukesha out of C500-40 Ser 355

I'm removing the Waukesha engine from a C500 Ser355 for a friend.

Where is the inspection hole to remove bolts in flexplate?

It's been years and I can't remember where it was so I thought before I show up and **** around for half hour looking I'd ask. Help me look good guys!

Actually, engine is out and the there are no flexplate bolts to take out so the starter could have stayed in. I took the top inspection plate off the trans and had a good peek in there anyways. The torque convertor came off with the flex pate and wasn't a big deal. I did have to remove the counterweight and lift the overhead guard a few inches but in the end it was a breeze and took just over 4 hours (with a bit of a mess on the floor ;)). The old guy still has it!

C500 Clarks.........great units when running, but you have to take half the machine apart to repair anything. Good luck

Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
