Hello, I'm dealing with this issue. I have a 2002 df115. I am trying to remove the powerhead and its not wanting to break free. I have removed the 16 bolts holding it on. Is it necessary to remove the intake manifold, wiring harness, and electrical box for it to release from the engine holder? It wouldn't seem like any of those would be connecting the powerhead to the engine holder. I realize they are sometimes fused together but I just want to be sure I'm not missing something. Thanks for any tips!

I know I did remove the components from the power head before removal. Do you have the service manual?
