C6 torque converter
Hey all
I've got a simple little question..at least I suppose so.
I'm taking the 460 motor out of my 58F100 and hoping to leave the tranny in place etc. And I forget how to disconnect the torque converter.
I unfastened the four nuts that hold it to the motors flex plate, and was expecting to just push it back a bit-- the torque converter. But its not budging? Its loose I can take a stud and rock the converter side to side etc. and i hear it clanking against the flex plate. But it won't be pushed back in off the flexplate.
Do I need to lift the converter a little or something as I push it back? Something like that. I put it on their years ago but its been awhile. And I've never much had automatics so this is new to me.
What am I forgetting?

Just pull the motor, it will separate if all 4 nuts are off & the 2 bottom engine plate to bell housing bolts. They don't move back much that you would notice it. Sometimes the pilot can get rusted in but a few jerks and it will be loose.
