Default Primary won't come off?

Like it says, I started farther tear down today. Pulled all the bolts out of the inner primary case and removed the solenoid and starter and the inner won't come off? Is there a hidden bolt that I don't know about? 4 around the engine 2 inside and 2 outside and 2 inside for the trans.

Did a previous owner use silicone in the area where the big round O-ring is used on the engine to inner primary mating surface? Just guessing...

Any movement or play at all? Maybe loosen the engine mount to frame and trans to engine, trans mount to frame bolts will help? Again just guessing. YD

Nevermind......when in doubt refer to the manual.....2 bolts under the trans....lol. First "older" Evo with a separate solenoid and starter, WAY different than my 89!

You can pull your rotor without pulling the inner primary!
