MG MGA - Removal of oil pump

I am in the midst of disassembling my engine for the rebuild. Can't get the oil pump off of the block. All fasteners are removed, camshaft and cranshaft are out--every thinis off of the engine except for the oil pump body--the rotor is frozen stiff and I cannot see to loosen it. Banged on the body of the pump and cannot seem to loosen it. Can't rotate it either. Never have seen this before. Any suggestions?

Probably some heat. If you have the studs out, you could try water pump pliers to twist the body, after heat and WD40 etc.

But be careful, they can break off!! I know!!
