Make sure that all 5 of the bolts that hold the tranny to the motor. ( i know the top ones are bitchs)
I imagine the starter is out if he removed the the slave cyl.
When i had mine all apart it didn't seem like it wanted to move used a pry bar all of a sudden it broke free that was a scary moment.
Anyways you have to push in on the wedge collar and push back on the Throw Out bearing its a bitch i couldn't get mine so i had to remove all of the pressure plate bolts which isn't as hard as you think losen a bolt move the flywheel losen and move its easy. MAKE SURE YOU SEPERATE THEM!!!!!

If it turns out to be the release collar that you were pulling on, go ahead and order a new ring and collar - I'll bet they were damaged.

yes the pressure plate is still holding the trans in. you can destroy the wedge collar and ring and pry it off the thorw out bearing ( I dont like doing this those two little parts cost $70), or you can take the six pressure plate bolts out and take the tranny and clutch assemblie out as a whole ( I would do this).
PS when you have the trans out make sure you replace the throw out bearing, pilot bearing and seal. I am sure after doing this once you wont want to do it again for some time. Personal I love doing R&R's on these trannies, its really easy, well easier then most.
