the torque converter is held into the bellhousing with a plastic nub on the drivers side opposite the starter. pull that and the trans should drop free of the TC...

then you need to put the new TC on the transmission and be certain it's seated fully into the front pump. lift, push, rotate, clunk, rotate a full revolution, clunk, rotate again another full rotation, and the third clunk into position.

have fun.
