I followed the manual, optical drive dont want to slide out I even aplied some force and still couldnt get it out, removed all 14 screws and still the same.

Read the manual again carefully. Especially the part on ESD precautions. The drive may not be coming out because sometime you have to pry it up just a bit to clear a lip on the case. Try pulling out while gently prying it in all four directions. It should come out pretty easily.

There may be a slider you need to move to release the drive.
