560 rear split

[Highwayman]

Trying to do the ta. I can?t get the center section to separate from the rear end. Yes I have the bolt out of the bottom under the cover. And I don?t see any more. I don?t think it?s ever been apart. Any tips greatly appreciated.
TIA

Prolly just stuck on the gasket.

Did you remove all 9 (Nine) 5/8s bolts? I know the IT service manual tells you where they all are.

All 9 are out It?s definitely stuck. I been driving a
chisel in the lip on top without success. There?s no
place to get one started on the sides

Stuck was an understatement. Put a mini rr jack I
got and put pressure on it and walked away. Hour
later I started rudely driving cold chisels in and it let
go. I don?t like doing that but sometimes you gotta
do what you gotta do. It?s off now. Now for the fun
of getting new unit in and back together....
tomorrow I?m outta gas. Getting too old for this.

You got the hard part done!!

I hope you ordered that special quad seal for the hyd pipe.

The work in the center section is pretty easy.

I had to replace the pto drive to the clutch cover, splines were half gone.
