may be wrong about the spacer getting out of place but the E-shaft will
definitely slide back and forth and there is metal to metal contact
somewhere. I  got the video some time after I tore apart the first engine
and then saw Bruce make a point of leaving this front bolt in the E-shaft
and figured that was why.  As I said I struggled with pulling the auto trans
counterweight off for quite some time and the E-shaft clanking back and
forth caused me quite a bit of worry. On the second engine I did as Bruce
said and had no clanking and and very little heartburn.  James

OK just loosen the front pulley bolt first and leave it finger tight when 
you take the flywheel nut off.
