10vt- Torque converter removal?

[auditude at neta.com]

Hi Mike,

There are small bolts around the backside (engine side) of the flex
plate that hold the torque convertor on.  The big donut part comes
off the part with the flywheel teeth.  I have a pic I can email you if
you like.

I couldn't tell how it came off at first either.

Later,

Ken
