the clutch and pressure plate have to come off then you would see the six or so bolts in the middle that hold it to the crankshaft

i do believe thats the flywheel not the torque converter

okay there is still a plate that has to be taken off the crankshaft with the same 6-8 bolts that holds it in place

wtf ??

then you DONT HAVE A FLYWHEEL

its called a FLEX PLATE...... and you remove it just like you remove a flywheel, just like everyone is telling you except there is 4 nuts to unblot on the back of the torque converter and that comes off first

ok sorry i didnt realize i said flywheell at the beginning, by bad. now that we are on the same part. you say there are 4 bolts on the back of the flex plate, behind the torque converter. would explain why i cant get it off

there are 4 nuts on the back of the torque converter, you will have to rotate the thing until one of them is accesible for your rachet until all 4 are off then it will pull off... they are 14mm nuts i think
