Can't answer that since we haven't gotten that far yet.

We are trying to replace it. We can't get the engine unlocked to get to the bolts that hold the torque converter on. Any ideas?

If it were me I'd pull it still attached to the flex plate just leaving a few inches for the bell housing lip to clear. I also would have gone about it a completely different way right off the rip.
