<VV> Help with 110hp engine disassembly--torque converter

There is no flywheel in an automatic. The Torque converter (TC) is your
flywheel /clutch and pressure plate all in one. It has the teeth to engage
the starter. That said you have removed the 3 screws from the flex plate
that is holding it to the TC. That's good, sometimes it is a job. Now you
would think the TC would just fall out. Not so. I have spent hours prying
and pulling to remove the TC which is basically stuck in the end of the
crankshaft. Spray it with a good penetrating fluid like Silikroil at its
center and keep prying trying not to bend or break the bell housing or TC.
It will come off when it's ready!

I have a 110hp engine with the bellhousing still attached, along with the 

flywheel, that is covered by what I believe is the torque convertor, best I 

can tell from pix in the shop manual. (pg 7-42, fig 7E-29, #38).  I have no 

idea how to remove this part and thus be able to remove the flywheel and 

then the bellhousing.  I have removed the three nuts (castellated) that can 

be accessed from inside the bellhousing, and the 'seats' (for lack of a 

better term) that the nuts screwed into.  The entire flywheel and convertor 

assembly can be wiggled, but it doesnt appear to be sliding out.  What am I 

missing here?

 

If there is a page in the manual that I can be directed to, I would 

appreciate that as well.

 

Thanks, Matt
