Removal of Power Jack brand

Does anyone have experience in the removal of a Power Jack brand jack? I've removed the three mounting bolts and the column wiggles, but doesn't lift off the tongue.

Barry, I suspect there is just some corrosion or something holding the jack on. I think it would be safe for you to give it a good pull back and forth until it breaks free.

Had the same problem with my atwood. Mine was rusted in place. As pmclemore said, pull it back and forth, it should come loose.

Thanks for the suggestions. I just removed the motor (the real reason for the project). I've disassembled it, cleaned it, and I'll test it next. Everything looked good, and if operational I think I'll just reinstall it. It appears to have a clutch disk pack in the power head. Is there a way to determine if this is faulty, short of just trying it?
