Question How the FK to Remove the Torque Converter

Anybody here remove a torque converter off the VQ35DE before? My transmission is off and MIA but I need to get the TC off the engine and I'm not sure if it slides off, screws off, or bolts off.

I've tried looking through the Z mechanic PDF and searching the forums and google but have not found the answer anywhere. Help appreciated.

Thanks but that site is broken in both FF and IE7... SQL Table issues. I do already have the big 350z mechanics guide with full break downs on everything but there is absolutely no description for removing the TC in it. Is that what's on this site?


Edit: I figured it out. It absolutely doesn't slide off. If you slid it off you broke some stuff dude. There are bolts on the back of the torque plate that connect to the flywheel and TC. You have to crank the crank and do one at a time through the wholes on the upper oilpan. FYI to anybody needing to do this.
