e4od won't budge

Doing the auto to man. swap and can not remove the e4od. Flex plate bolts are off, converter housing to block bolts are out, crossmember is out, engine supported, starter removed and the exhaust is not in the way. I can't see anything blocking the tranny. I laid under the truck and kicked the output housing, still nothing. Any tips guys ?

I bet the dowel pins are stuck you are going to have to get a pry bar in between the motor and tranny and pry it a part.
