LX865 Turbo engine removal

[baowayne65]

Hi everyone I am new here and have just recently purchased a 98 NH LX865 turbo and I am trying to remove the engine. I thought I had everything disconnected to remove the engine. However I can only get the engine to separate from the bell housing about 1" maybe and it hanging up. My question is do the hydraulic pumps all have to be disconnected and removed for the engine to come out? I'm not sure why it's not coming out any further. Thank you in advance!

Pumps do have to be disconnected and highly recommend tilting the cab forward way more room that way. Engine finally came out and is disassembled.
