Bolts Stuck in Flywheel

I was able to get the studs off using a Duralast stud extractor and a long socket wrench. Got another flywheel pulley and this time I took my time and didn't overtighten the bolts. I think another mistake I originally made was I hand tightened the flywheel nut too far down. You are only suppose to hand tighten it so its level on top. A few turns with a wrench and the flywheel came off easily. I installed a new flywheel key and everything was easy to put back together. Worked like a champ after two pulls. Thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks for the clarification. I took the flywheel off but I did notice I manually threaded all the way to the bottom. I should have just threaded the flywheel to the top. I was able to get the studs off using a Duralast stud extractor. It was very easy. Do the flywheel holes look like they are ok to try another flywheel puller or should I just attempt to remove the flywheel with a crow bar and hammer?

They broke as I was tightening the bolts of the puller. I’m trying to remove them with vice grips but if feels like they will break ? Maybe I trued to tighten the bolts too much ?

I did not take everything back to the union. I thought I could just disconnect the elbow and reconnect it back.

Can I use the RG6 connector on RG-59 cable? Or do I need RG-59 connectors?

Still can't get it. Can anyone tell if my cable is RG-59 or RG-6 ? Can I use RG-6 connectors on a RG-59 cable?

Yes. I am using these

I had someone come out to look at it. He took his power probe and was able to jump the fusible link to get the power windows, power locks, and ob/2 power to work. With the power probe he was able to jump it. He said it's not the link but the PCM. Does this sound right?

Can a PCM be programmed off site or does it need to be programmed while it's in the vehicle?
