Starter 1993 Acura Legend

I cant get the started to drop out. I have the two bolts removed, one from the front one from the back. I have the electrical wires disconnected along with a bracket. I have tried knocking and prying, the best I can get is about 1/4 gap between the started and where it was bolted to. Help!! Why wont it drop?

Edit: I got her. I guess after 23 years of not moving she just needed to be worked a little bit.
