The only way to get the converter off the flex is to turn the motor. If the motor is locked up, it can be a serious battle to unlock it and get the converter off it. Only other way to work around that would be to buy a new converter and hope you don't damage any thing pulling the converter attached to the motor off the input/pump shaft/stator. You would need new converter bolts, most guys don't have spare sets laying around.

Trust me, I was under there fighting and banging with an engine over my head supported by a 4x4 because of all our lower mount stupidity. Then the guy standing there said he stuffed it to the floor to kill it fully. I slide out and handed him the tools. Then sat on my butt for the next two hours while he fought it.
