Ahhhh, teach me to work in 38 degrees.  I finally got it out but I
disconnected the propane line for the stove instead of the fridge.  Doh!!!!

Thanks for all your help, it's out.

If for sure all fasteners are off, I found that one "rocks" the
fridge. Start with bottom, or top, then alternate push/pull on each.
It's more of a lift/pull at bottom. The bottom should lead the way.

One other spot it will hang up on, is the exhaust/intake tubes and/or
the manifold they attach to. The manifold can get hung up on the
exterior sheet metal, and the tubes themselves hung up on the back of
the cabinet the fridge lives in. Just push the manifold down a little
out of the way, and if IIRC, one can reach around the back and push
the tubes down to clear thin piece of wood at rear of cabinet.

Also did you undo the two screws holding the manifold the flue?
