the gasket is acting like a glue or caulk in my opinion and slow circles of tapping with a rubber mallt on the outer -lower edges will get it to come loose enough to tap some soft wood shims in and break the whole cylinder up and free...good luck

This is excellent advice. Continue to strike with the rubber mallet all the way around the jugs. It may not seem like there is anything happening, but those little hits add up. Sooner or later you'll hear the sound of the hits starting to change. It will come loose shortly after that. Just did this about three days ago on my 1000.

I bolt this bar onto the top of the block and use a big rubber/plastic mallet on each bar end alternately, firmly but gently hammering because you don't want to ruin those two 6-mm thread wholes. Ensure that you firmly bolt down the bar onto the block of course.
This tool has always worked for me no matter how sticky the cylinder base gasket is.
