I've read several threads on case splitting and been over the classic "splitting case halves" pictures at least 3 times. I'm pulling on the tranny studs, and not seeing any gap form at all. here's some pictures in case someone is able to spot a bolt that I've missed. I'm avoiding the use of screwdrivers, but what would your next steps be assuming that I haven't in fact missed a bolt.
the big 6  along the top  down the front (you think the front main seal was leaking?)  the sneaky 2 on the side  the one behind the flywheel  sneaky one below the flywheel and back half of bottom  front half of bottom  |

You can safely apply pressure by wedging a screwdriver between the crank and the front main seal. That way you have the hardened crank on one side and the rubber seal on the other and you can usually get it started there.
It looks like you got all the nuts and bolts. But if it doesn't crack open with light pressure there, don't just push harder. Sometimes the sealant used on the case halves can make splitting a PITA. |

As mentioned... yeah, I've still got the hub on and its blocking me. you see, I broke one of the screws in it, so I'm kinda stuck with the hub on. |
