Cygnet 2 motor removal

[jhonjhon]

Hello i am new new around here and am naturally in a bind for info. I have a jacuzzi cygnet 2 pump with a 1.5 hp 56y frame motor that just died. I have a new replacement motor but am have not been able to remove the existing motor from the pump housing. The 4 through bolts have been removed and the motor now spins but I can't get it released from the pump section. Judging but the pics from a parts breakdown I found it looks like it should just separate at a plate with a large o ring. Is anyone able to steer me in the right direction? Thank you for any help, john

From the pics and diagrams I can find it looks like those 4 bolts should be all that holds it together. The o-ring is probably just stuck to both halves, holding it together. Rock the motor up and side to side, then pull back on it and it should separate.
