Can't get engine and tranny separated.

Can't get engine and tranny separated.
I have the engine and transmission out of the car and... i tried to pull them apart before disengaging the throw out bearing.. is this a big no-no?
I can't seem to get it disengaged
and i'm at my wits end i'm afraid and i don't know what to do.
I've done some searching and would really like to not have to take the pressure plate off inside of the bellhousing and even if i did i would still need to get it off...
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys,
Jabu

Yes you need to release the throwout bearing or the trans will not separate from the engine.

Took me 2 hours to get mine off last time. And thats the 2nd time I did it. It helped to use a very large craftsman screw driver that has a square rod going down to the tip. I then used a crescent wrench to help twist with more force while pushing in on the fork. You can also try to turn the engine to try a different spot on the throwout. Be sure you have it in the correct groove.

when you release the TOB push the clutch fork to engage the TOB. slip the screw driver in between the wedge collar and the TOB while tryn to hold the fork in place twist and pop it off. it sounds harder then it really is.

I never have had problems disengaging one. Installing yes, the stupid clip falls in.
Also make sure you removed the stub shaft from the drivers side that connects the trans to transfer case.
