stuck torque converter
Make sure you have all the bolts removed. Yea, I know thats remedial, but I do it to.... If you plan on reusing it get a soft faced hammer like one thats rubber outside with lead ***** inside, and beat on it a little till it comes loose. If that doesn't work, try using a pry bar gently while tapping it. Or try to get at a angle on it so as to when you strike it its in the direction to come off. If you aren't keeping it use the above and if it doesn't work get a real sledge and beat the crap out of it till it desides to give up. Well that last ones not that good of a idea, but you will feel like doing it if the rest doesn't work. Be gentle though you don't want to damage anything. maybe try a prybar on either side of the Torque Converter so as to evenly apply pressure. Good luck
