Thank You Walt!!!! I live in Richmond Virginia

Hi Jim,
it is likely that the bearing rollers, in the rear of the T/C housing, that support rear of the T/C output shaft have dropped and are catching on the edge of the inner race on the shaft.
You could try forcing grease into the rollers and hope it will hold them up so the shaft can be withdrawn to its working position. A piece of curved semi-circular shaped shim stock might allow you to lift the top rollers up and slide the shaft back too.
Not sure if the hook type piston ring seal can move out of its bore forwards far enough to unlatch--been too long now since I worked on one--I think the odds are low for this to happen--but just wanted to say it could or could not be be a possibility.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Eddie B.

The ball and roller bearings used are caged assemblies.

yes, but they wear and the rollers get loose in the cages and hang down a catch. Hence the rollers may need to lifted/held to enable the inner race to slide back into place.
Mileage may vary depending on wear.

You need to look at the torque converter cross section. The only separable bearing and race on the main shaft is the pilot bearing. The only way I can see getting 1/2" of movement is to punch through the pilot bearing. And the u-joint flange would have to be removed or the retaining bolt stripped to do that. Also would require the loss of the shaft press fit of the carrier bearing. All possible I guess.
