I know alot of people will get on my *** for this, but I use a small prybar. There are a couple dowel pins between the two that will make it a little difficult to take it out and put it in. Should not require much force, if it does STOP. Yoy may have missed something small, but I dunno. Been a while since I done it (wow, going on 6mos without changing the POS).

Make sure you removed the two small bolts that hold the inspection plate to the bellhousing (that thin sheetmetal between the engine and tranny that covers the clutch housing).
I assume you took the shifter off.
I had trouble with this myself and it was the fact that I was trying to pull the engine off the tranny instead of the other way around. The engine needed to be pulled and I didn't pull the tranny from underneath.
Most likely its just the input shaft binding. Look at the alignment of the two units from the side, and try to visually inspect what the angle of the engine and tranny are in relation to eachother. That need to be inline with eachother or they won't separate. Picture two pipes, one inside the other, if you try to bend them and pull at the same time you can't pull them apart but if they're straight and no force is on them they'll side apart easily.
Hope that helps.
I used prybars to assist. I've also had a tranny jack under it and used a strap on the rear axle and pulled it off
