I've found a well placed hit from a dead blow hammer will knock a lot of things loose.
But first thing is making sure all the bolts are loose, intake, everything.

Muscles?

Did you take ALL of the bolts out? Even the one oddball towards the front on the outside? Might take some prying. Put your purse down and give it hell.
