Removed the 6 nuts and bolts from the exhaust housing. Powerhead does not want to come loose. Before I do something like prying and banging or trying to seperate the power head from the housing forcefully I need to take a breath. I realize that at least the gaskets are holding it in place . Is there more to it which must be removed ? The exhaust tube, does it come out with the power head?
