Torque Convertor removal

Ok any tips on removing the torque Convertor on a AAH (2.8 v6) just giving it a quick look and I couldn't see any obvious bolts holding the torque Convertor to the flywheel.

3 bolts hold it onto the 'flywheel' from the engine side.access to the bolts should be in the starter motor mounting hole

Thats the easy bit, getting the boss out in the end of the crank can be a twat.

Apparently a 24 or 27mm(not sure which) drill bit can be used to just drill it out

Im presuming you are converting that engine to a manual car?
