Default Pulled bellhousing, and TC stayed with the engine!

A little puzzled, everything I've read looked like the torque converter would come out with the bellhousing.

The three bolts that hold the TC on all have round heads...not really sure how to procede.

Of coarse it will stay with the fly wheel if you do not unbolt it.

Lolz... sorry but this is funny!

X2, you have to unbolt the converter from the fly wheel.

If you are not saving the converter just cut the feet off. I've done this before getting the trans out of the car one time. If you are replacing the converter and flexplate i'd cut as close as possible and the bolt heads should just fall out. I used a reciprocating saw, you have more options since its out of the car and no trans in the way.
