Having trouble getting motor separated from tranny...

Well, I've tried prying but they're still stuck. I have some steel wedges and tapped them in between the motor & tranny to hold the gap I've gained so far, but I'm leary of continuing to drive them in too hard. I'm debating on it - has anyone done this or have any opinions on whether it would work or not? Is there much risk of damaging the bell housing by doing this? I'm not worried about the motor, I just don't want to tear up the tranny. I also wonder if anyone can tell me how far apart the motor & tranny need to come to completely disengage the input shaft to know if I'm close yet or is there still a ways to go?

Thanks!
