98 explorer engine removal questions

4.0 SOHC, auto, 4x4

How do you take the flexplate loose?? I don't see any way to get to the fasteners unless maybe you go through the starter hole...?? Is that right?

Or do you pull the engine with the torque converter attached, and slip it off the trans shaft?
