You have them pulled from the case?

Do you have the two bolts under the valve body removed? And the retaining ring at the case?
Or you have them out and having probs as Mr t nasty asks?

The ring seals on the center support probably cut into the inside surface of the direct drum making it hard to separate them. You may have to pry them apart. Shouldn't take too much force to get them apart. It's a common problem.

Got it. Feel like an idiot now lol. Tapped on the center support through the drum and pop.
