Re: Vent window rivet setter.
Did you just buy the hand held punch that you use with a hammer or is there more to it . Could you post up what part numbers you bought instead of the web site?

Re: fordo torque converter
Thanks dmsfrr, A trans shop did it but not open today. I think I can use a fluid pump like we use for rear end oil. Or just pull it back out. It is heavy.
