It not likely you are looking at the flex plate through the green hole. The flex plate is aft of that area. More likely you are looking at the transmission mount. To remove either the flex plate or the transmission mount both of those covers should be removed.

You will also need the rear wheels off the ground to rotate the drive shaft.

Start by removing the 2 bolt #6 then remove 1-4 to remove the front section. Support the transmission by the pan with a block of wood and then remove the aft cover 5,7,8.

You will then have clear access to both trans mount and flex disks. They will be obvious how to remove from there.
