Something is wrong then. it should pull out kinda easily. distributor is
out, right? 
Id remove it since your gonna have it cleaned. (hot tanked, right? if
not, you should.) Get new intermediate shaft bearings since the hot
tanking proccess eats bearings and, since we talked about this being a
long life expectancy motor, new bearing are a good thing, a wise
investment sort of thing.
