Need help removing oil pump

[Jay Bird]

I am rebuilding my EW1 and I am stuck trying to get the oil pump off. I have all the bolts off but it is sealed on to the block. Any tricks to getting this off?

Got it off with a hammer. A couple of taps broke it loose.

Never force it, just use a bigger hammer..
