Honda BF5 removing power unit

[Raus]

Recently start removing power unit, have to reach stiffed steering bracket (pivot tube).
All cables and other connections are disconnected, loosened all bolts, unit is bit lifting from rear (spark plug) side, but central part still not moving not detaching from base, don’t want to force, avoid any breaking.
Any tips?

Well, I don't know but you are WISE not to force anything. Honda has a nasty habit of concealing bolts and, if you get impatient and start prying and pounding, the tears ain't far behind.

Looking at the parts diagrams it looks like maybe something to do with the way the exhaust manifold Is supported might be your trouble.

But that's just a big old guess.

You can get the official shop manual here:

Not a lot of money when you compare it to the price of parts and things made of unobtanium.

Good luck.
