Hi all,
    I'm doing my first wasserboxer removal(84) and am all set to drop, but can't get the engine to pull free(or even begin to) from the trans bell housing. Everything is  disconnected,I've tried various angles by adjusting the engine height, but it wont break free. I've never had this problem on my 2.0 aircooled. I know the lower studs have to come out straight, but I cant begin to pull from the bell housing. Any suggestions? 
    The alternative is to leave it in and pull the heads. Bentley tells how to do it, but Haynes says not to. What does the list think?
