Allison torque converter removal

[ClintA]

So where to start? My nephew blew the engine in the M818, long story short, we got a new engine from Kansas (Glen) and it came with a Allison glued to it. I have both engines sitting on the M1061A1 trailer so I can put stuff that belongs off one to the other. We took the Allison off today so we can put the manual Trans on but I have no clue how to pull what is left of the torque converter out of the bell housing. I searched and found nothing that helped so I am turning over to brothers in arms. Your help would help and thanks in advance, Clint

Just spin it and pull it's heavy as crap.

Which direction? As the clock turns or as time goes backwards? Thanks by the way.

There are bolts that hold it to the flywheel from the front then spin it counter clockwise and it is heavy watch your toes!
