look at the flywheel from the engine side.spin it until you see the bolts. your gonna have to hold the flywheel in place to take out the bolts.have some1 hold the flywheel with a prybar and you remove the bolts.

Funny replies huh? 
Just take the trans off and torch the flexplate off.
Hell the engine is blown, whats losing a flexplate.
You might even be able to get a boxed end wrench between the block and flexplate with the trans out.

no way .. the bolts that hold the torque coverter in place were hex size bolts .. i finally got it apart .. took me 3 hours of engine diasembly and a larger hammer to break the rod that was stuck in the cam shaft that prevented it from turning over .. haha
