Pulling my 1980 cb750k engine apart to check for warn bearings, but I'm having a heck of a time getting the case apart. Yes, I have all the bolts out. The oil pump is still on but all of the bolts that hold it in place have been removed. It (the oil pump) just doesn't want to budge.  
If your advice is "You have to take the oil pump off first", then don't bother unless you can tell me how.  
Really appreciate any help.
Thanks
