tried to do a search but just wasn't getting it done so here goes. our 2040 is up for an engine overhaul dad bought it new has 5000hrs on it and i got dust in it last summer so out comes the engine . well i am removing the front end forward from the block and i have the four bolts removed and the hydraulic pump coupling is apart and can't seem to get the castings to seperate. got things blocked and jacked up in several places. did some tapping with the sledge and a block of wood . thinking the dowels are stuck just wanted to see if any tricks were involved or just been to long of day. thanks all.
