take something like a pick, or very very small screwdriver and pry it out. if you lose it ,you can get more at lowes or home depot.

Got all the damn bolts out. How long are the guide pins? I cant get the thing out. I can see space between the converter and the pump so its comin I guess? Any tips? Ready to get a chain and tie it to another car and the trans and floor it! That will get it out!

Its not that hard to unbolt the converter. Remove the starter and through that whole you can unbolt the coverter. Peace of cake and its only 4 bolts.

not only that but you WILL destroy your transmission trying to put the trans back in with the converter still bolted up. Not might...WILL. Do it right...take the starter out and remove the converter bolts. Rotate the engine with a big socket on the crank bolt to get each of the 3 bolts one at a time.
