What is the problem, is the flex plate turning?

If that is the case then you need a flywheel wrench, it hooks onto the ring geae and you just hold the handle. Loosen one then rotate it and repeat, once they are all loose then remove them.

If that isn't the issue, then sorry for sounding like a S/A.

you can also use a pair of vice grips in a pinch...when we removed transmissions in the Army Humvees (when i was in as a mechanic), we always just clamped onto the flexplate with a pair of vice grips, held the vice grips and removed the bolts with the other free hand...

Get a ratcheting wrench or a socket not deep well ¼ drive put in top right(driver side) viewing circle and grab a socket with breaker bar and put on front of motor and turn and hold the ratchet or wrench on the nut or hold the motor and push up either will work..
