Hi,

I am removing the torque converter from my 1956 Parklane. I have the transmission out. The torque converter is drained and the housing bolts accessible through the floor at the top of the converter are out. I'm reading the removal instructions from a transmission manual and am not sure how to interpret. It says "remove the six flywheel to converter drive plate bolts"...I count eight from the rear of my TC and a whole bunch more from the front. I know I will have to take the starter out too. How heavy is this thing once it comes loose? Any tips on removal? Here are a couple of pictures:
