The only thing that didn't work out right is that I couldn't get the case split. and only 3 out of the 4 through case studs came out. The other one seems really solid. Any ideas?

That is difficult to see unless you are aware of its existence and deliberately look for it.

There is a plate used to separate the halves using the cyl. hold down studs and thru bolts but sometimes you can use a 2x2" board and a large hammer and break it loose going thru the cylinder base holes in the case. The last one we did, even using the thru bolt plate wouldn't break loose in the front and it required heating around the front stud.
