Noob question on separating block / tranny

You remove the inspection plate, remove the four convertor bolts, push the convertor back into the transmission (about 1/4-1/2"), then unbolt the bellhousing while supporting the trans and engine. Then they just pop apart. Don;t forget the lower bell bolts (larger diameter) and make sure they are supported so the trans doesn't fall or put stress on the bolts as you're loosening them.
