10vt- Torque converter removal?

[Michael Gough]

Hey list,
Got a new MC motor for the Quantum Syncro turbo. It came from an automatic
tranny car, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to take the torque
converter off!
Yeah I know I sound like a dumbass ;) but it looks like the flex plate was
bolted onto the crank, and then the torque converter was welded onto the
flex plate! Anyway, maybe I'm just having a bad car day, but can anyone help
me out and explain how to remove this thing?
Thanks everyone
Mike
