Why the concern for converter-to-flexplate bolts ? Are you removing the transaxle ? If so, the total removal of Everything holding the trans-to-engine brackets, starter, and peripheral equipment
(cruise control, throttle cables, and such), are removed.
PRECAUTION: SUPPORT ENGINE & TRANSAXLE WHILE REMOVING ENGINE/TRANS BRACKETS, PILLOW MOUNTS, AND STRUTS. 18mm BOLTS CAN BE ACCESSED BY
REMOVING A SMALL 10mm BOLT HOLDING THE INSPECTION PLATE THAT COVERS TORQUE CONVERTER. USE AN 18mm SOCKET & BREAKER BAR ON DAMPENER BOLT TO HOLD - WHILE LOSENING EACH CONVERTER BOLT - TURN 90* AND
LOSEN THE NEXT BOLT, REPEAT......

There is a small access panel underneath that you must remove first in order to access the torque converter bolts. The panel is very small so a socket and wrench should be used. Bolts should be 17MM. Good luck!
remove the starter for access to the t.c. nuts,i have done this twice
pull the trans. and ther are 5=6 bolts
On the torque converter. Do a Google search and read about torque converters.
The Torque Converter is part of the transmission, not part of the engine. The torque converter needs to come off with the transmission. You need to remove the starter to access the torque converter bolts/nuts and separate it from the flex plate. Besides loosing all of the fluid in the torque converter, you stand to damage converter seals and/or the pump if the converter isn't properly installed in the transmission.
Torque converter bolts No. Fly-wheel bolts YES.
Usually with bolts.
No you can't get to them. The converter is in the way.
In the transmission held on by 3 bolts
Loose converter bolts or a cracked pressure plate.
Remove the flex plate access panel at the bottom of the trans where it meets the engine then remove one bolt and turn the crank to access the next till all are out
nope. you still have the 6 18mm bolts that bolt the flywheel to the crank
