torque convertor removal

[fuzz!]

hi guys, this might sound pretty stoopid.. but i have no idea how i'm supposed to remove the torque convertor from the arse of my 1UZ. it looks like it's been welded all the way around and those welds need to be cut open.

obviously i dont want to start cutting into the thing if there is a way of simply unbolting it.

help meeee!!!

okay i really should have looked at it for a minute as it is quite obvious..

(it's just that i've never even seen an automatic before.. and.. some other excuse)

so, to answer my own question, simply crank the engine around until each of the bolts holding the T/C is exposed by that rust-and-muck collecting gap at the bottom of the flywheel..

"so thaaaat's what that thing is for"

I have just sat down at my PC with a cup of tea to ask this exact question, lol.

So thanks!!, I can get back to work now
