I've never had a problem...but there are horror stories out there on getting them to move sometimes

That's what I was thinking also. I've read too many stories telling the need of pullers, blow torches, and explosives, required to remove some GT750 cylinders.

The initial tear down of my T500 was done with the engine still on the frame - an engine that had sat, unrun, for over 15 years. A few gentle taps of my trusty rubber mallet were required, but the jugs came off rather easily. For an engine that can run, shouldn't be much effort at all.
