Yes, the pilot diameter of the convertor is stuck in the counterbore on the back of the crank. If you are talking 49-54 you can remove the bolts and then force the convertor to spin in the counterbore till it comes out. If you are talking 55-56 the studs hinder rotation but they are loose enough in their holes that you can get a very slight back and forth rotation to help break it free. Otherwise you just have to pry it off and get another flexplate afterwards if the old one will not indicate true.
