So my engine seized and I have pulled and separated the engine and transmission. The only problem is now I need to get the converter removed from the flex plate or get a new converter and bolts. I am tight on cash right now so if there is a way to get the one i have removed I need to figure it out. Thanks in advance for any help.

i guesss you could take apart the bottom end of the engine ang just take it all out with the crank?

Exelbaradin has the right idea. That is going to be an unwieldy thing. If the pistons are not seized you may be able to rotate the crank by loosening all the rod and main caps, this may allow you to turn the crank without having to remove it. And when you have the TC off, tighten the mains and rods back down to lock the crank so as to remove the driveplate(honda term for flexplate).

Are the 10mm bolts on the back side of the flex plate seized on too? Where the access panel on the bottom of the tranny is.

I'm not sure about how to take the crank out and cannot find and write-up's about tearing it down.

No, the problem is the crank is seized and I cannot turn the engine to get to all the bolts.

Oh, ok I gotcha. You could try getting a really long breaker/cheater bar to try to knock the motor loose and turn it via the crank bolt. I've never dealt with a seized car motor, so I wouldn't exactly know.

got the converter loose today, took all the bolts i could out and got the last three using a ball joint separator and a hammer

How did you align your flexplate markers?
