Maybe transmission shaft is stuck in the pilot bearing. Try EVENLY prying to separate the two.

make sure you removed the bolt that was under strart isnt there. It hidden when the starter is in place. If you have ALL of the bolts removed, pry it apart with a bar, or tire iron.

The bolt is going to be hidden by the starter, I ran into the same problem, I thought I had all the bolts out and I didn't. You have to take the starter out. After that you should be able to take a screw driver and pull it apart. I used one of the 3 motors I had out as a reference as to how many bolts they had to take out. Let me know how that goes.

haha...I finally got it right. lol Yeah just make sure you put the parts together and label them, I didn't label mine and I know its going to take forever and a year to get mine back in. I am actually putting a streetported s5 n/a. Good luck with the rebuild.
