Default Throttle Body Removal Issue

So, I was trying to replace my throttle body, removed the portion of my intake going to throttle body, disconnected battery, disconnected TPS connector, disconnected the throttle cable, disconnected the cruise control, disconnected all four bolts/nuts but it won't come off at all. No budging whatsoever tried tapping with a rubber mallet, nothing. Any suggestions?

Those things can get really stuck on the intake over time. You just need to keep hacking at it and it'll come off. The gasket has likely turned into "glue" per say sealing it onto the intake.
