Seems to me that Gerry posted a while back that he used a endoscope camera
connected to a laptop and aimed at the torque converter to locate the bolt.
Where is Gerry?

If you change it every 30k, I am comfortable not draining the TC, so

The problem is that it is hard for one person to watch for the torque converter
drain (at the back of the engine, underneath) while rotating the engine from
the front.
I think I used the method Dan described, using a flat screwdriver to rotate at
the back of the engine, from underneath.

Apparently any force is too much force when you are engaging in self defense,
because you have no right to self defense here. The obvious solution to being

Got the right side back together. As expected, it went a bit quicker since I
had some experience. Cracked the bleeder on the right side caliper but didn’t
see a difference in the pad pressure. Pulled them back a little and all was
good, so it doesn’t appear to be a wheel bearing problem.
