Default Torque tube anyone

I posted on C7 general forum, maybe the wrong place, I'll try here.
I understand there is an inspection port at front of torque tube. How much can actually be analyzed like bearing, coupler, flex plate, etc., thru that opening? Thanks for any comments, Jim

No inspection port tha tI am aware of. If you want to see the couplers and bearings, etc, the drive shaft needs to be removed from the torque tube.

To inspect, remove the rubber cap on the bell housing. Use your phone or borescope inspection camera. If the drive shaft bearing is recessed more than a 1/4 inch in the torque tube then it's bad.

I just finished replacing my torque tube and converter using a quick jack and a couple of harbor freight transmission jacks.
