Struggling splitting engine case

[Brett72]

Evening all. i am after some advice if possible from the font of knowledge on here.  I am struggling to separate my engine cases. I have followed the good ole Haynes manual to the letter but i just cannot seem to separate them. Have tried lots of different size persuasion tools but they just wont budge. Is there a bolt that the book doesn't show? Do you need to remove the alternator off the shaft? i have seen many videos where they don't. Is there a bolt under the sump plate near the oil pump? Any ideas are welcome. Thanks

You need all covers off and the oil pump removed. Are you missing the bolt under the starter motor cover ? Once all bolts are out and the engine up side down, give the output shaft a tap with a plastic hammer
