I take it you got the 2 bolts out?Lots of penetrating fluid?Did you try adding a little heat to it,and a little persuasion?

So, you have the anchor bolt out, yes?? If so, tap the cylinder with a hammer, it has to go.....If you do not have the anchor bolt out, and it won't budge, a good impact wrench or a snipe on the power/johnson bar will get it.
