I have removed all case fasteners (20 smaller nuts and/or bolts plus 6 large bolts)--and I have checked at least a dozen times--and compared to various guides. At this point only sealant should be holding the case halves together.
But my gentle and careful efforts have not budged things. And even some slightly more aggressive tapping with a hammer and hardwood dowel has not worked. What to try next? Any good methods besides the tool that wedges the oil strainer hole open? |

Try Jake Raby's method...make sure the front main seal and fan hub are still on the engine, then use a prybar between them, making sure that the edge of the bar is definitely pressing on the seal (not the case). If all your bolts are out, the case will split really easy this way....
