Eaton 1100. Cannot get the hydro pump to separate from the Transaxle

[squonk 41,772]

I'm trying to replace the hydro pump on Marvin. I have the lines and linkage unhooked and the 4 big bolts out and it's not budging. I've been tapping on the raised edges trying to get it to move, but nothing. Am I missing something?

Got it apart finally and the new pump is worse than the old. go figure!

That happens all too often...Bet th seller said it came from a good working tractor.  I have several junk Sundstrands...most came from a "good working tractor"  Yeah ...right.

Squonk, could you please tell me your resolution for seperating the pump? I need to perform the very same procedure myself.

Thank you sir...

Juxtaposing kept whacking it with a lead hammer.
