taurus ax4n valve body

[jebjr]

I am trying to replace a valve body on a ford AX4N Tranny. Took everything apart but can't get the valve body off the pump shaft.
I removed all the bolts except those noted in the ford service manual as "do not remove" (2 on the solenoids & 6 on the pump body)

Any suggestions?
thanks

replaced the valve body.
4 of the pump bolts run through the valve body (even though the ford shop manual says not to pull the pump bolts)

Please advise outcome. What caused you to want to change it?
