Is there a trick for starter removal?

Hi,I got an 84 GSL

First of all I have replaced many starters in different vehicles without any issues but this is my first time replacing on a rotary.

Everything is disconnected and the starter is ready to come out but its not wanting to come out. I have tried everything and even read the manual.

Is there a trick to taking it out? Dumb question but it feels like its welded on.

Thanks in advance,
Jon
