well yes if you want to have the automatic transmission you need a converter and a flex plate, the crank pulley, put a 19mm on there with a 1/2 wrench and HIT THE WRENCH hard it comes loose, iv had to do this to 3 of my supra's. Let me know, I want someone to get this and try it so i can prove it works.

Not sure about there being no flex plate/flywheel. But as stated above you can break the crank pulley bolt loose with a 19mm socket and 1/2 inch ratchet or breaker bar. You will also need a puller to remove it without damaging the crank pulley(sure you knew that but just adding it in case.)

See if you can find someone local with a flywheel or see if theres one in your junkyard and bolt it up and jam it up if need be.

GL!

You have to pull the pan off to remove the crank anyways, wedge a block of wood in there to stop the crank from spinning and have at it.

That is one hell of a sentence...between no punctuation and the spelling, it gave me a headache.

Read Poodles post, take the oil pan off, wedge a 2x4 in there on the crank, and have at it.

I come from a land down under
Swearing is good you can run 4>5 into one long word :D

Sort of lucky the extensions broke as the Bolt is necked down under the head and can fail :(

This is a BAD thing if it happens.

That bolt is on tight. If I recall it's torqued to 195ft/lbs. To get mine off when i was tearing down a 7m I jammed up the rear of the engine and was actually standing on/jumping on my breaker bar to break it free. Oh how sweet it is when you get that bolt off hahaha!
