Removing a th359 HELP!?

How hard is it to remove a th350 from a 350 sbc?
What tools do I need and is there like a write up? They're both out of the truck but the guy I'm wanting to buy from doesn't want to remove them and I don't want or need the th350 and I'm wanting to run a 4 speed.
YouTube is no help from my searching.
Thanks

hey bud this is so easy you will only need to bring a set of standard wrenches with you i cant for the life of me remember the size but if you bring a full set you will have the right one .. i want say its a 9 sixteenths or a 5 eighths but dont quote me ... then its just simple as taking out the bolts have a good size pry bar or a flat head driver to seperate but most times that not even a issue ... hope this helps ya man .... happy truckin

Alright that's what I figured. I assume the input shaft will freely come out of the motor pretty easy?

9/16 and 5/8 or 11/16 for the converter to flex plate bolts. You're going to want to keep the converter with the trans. It'll save a big mess. Just make sure it stays all the way in the trans when you separate them

It's an automatic. No input shaft. The torque converter is bolted to the flexplate. You'll need to rotate the engine to get the converter bolts.

Bring a socket set. You'll have it done in 5 minutes.
