Its bolted to the adapter plate from the back side like a torque converter is bolted on..... There is a small plate on the front side of the transmission as if a starter would go there and if you remove the one 10mm bolt that plate will fall out and stick your fingers in there and you will feel the bolt heads in there and you can loosen them one by one... . The hardest part is trying to crank over(turn) the flywheel to get to each bolt... . But once figured out it really isn't hard at all... .
