Ford Type 9 gearbox rebuild help.

[cps13]

Has anybody ever taken a type 9 apart??

I am trying to clean one up and replace the gaskests and oil seals. I need to take it all apart becasue it is going to be sand blasted and powder coated.

When taking it apart I remove all the bolts (6) holding the two halfs together however when I pull it apart it gets stuck (see pic).

Does anybody know where I'm going wrong?

Thanks!!!

Have you removed the top cover from the black bit? Once off you'll be able to see all the cogs and selector forks and stuff and maybe work out what bit is stuck. It's been a while since I had a type-9 in pieces but IIRC it's probably the shaft from the tail gearlever mounting through to the selector forks which is holding it together.
