I am doing a 4.0L engine swap and removing the engine from a 1993 Explorer with auto trans. I am down to the last operation. The shop manual states to remove the trans access cover plate and disconnect the flywheel from the converter. This is a replacement trans and I see no cover plate. I also see no cover plate in the detail drawings. The only access to the flywheel nuts is through the starter motor hole. I would need to rotate the engine to gain small access to all four nuts. Is this what I need to do?
