You have to heat it up with a torch around the intake and with a floor jack underneath pushing up...do one section at a time and use like the bernzomatic torch and heat it up and it will eventually pop free....

The two hidden ones?yea i took all the nuts and washers off but do the bolts need be pounded out thru the bottom? I thought the intake would come up off of them but maybe im wrong, i just took the dremel to the bottom of the hull to try and free it up a lil.
