re intake Ian, just picked up on this thread, I know its a pain but be very careful resorting to too much force(dont ask how I know!!) if you have managed to cut or whatever the majority of sealing rtv etc it shouldn't need as much force as you are considering, just dont want to read in a few posts how the bolt holes cracked, have you any movement at all? if there is just rtv holding it then you should have some give albeit small if it is solid there may be something else, is there anyone close to you that can also take a look? just dont lose your rag or it will cost you.
