Take apart the bottom end and free up whatever is stuck... then take the trans apart.

Or just force it... it sounds like it's f'd anyway.

Take out both axles, drop the subframe. Remove both the lower engine mount and the transmission mounts. Drop the engine and transmission down, it will be at an angle because the front engine mount is still hooked up. Disconnect the engine and transmission. The transmission should be down sufficiently enough to pull the two apart. Once they're apart, you should have access to all of the torque converter bolts.

Yea, pull the tranny without the converter. Then pull the engine oil pan, unbolt whatever is locking it up and rotate to get to the bolts. (long way to do it but i know that works). As stated above you might be able to get in between, but i've not done that without skinning my knuckles badly. lol
