Ok:

So I took off the 4 bolts that hold the gearcase on and it came down about a 1/4 inch.  I loosended the only screqw I saw that went through a brass rectangle.  The gearcase would not come off.  Then I loosened it more and the damn screw fell into the cavity.  Gearcase would still not come off.  I tried not to push or wiggle it too much.  It moved laterally, but would not come off.

I started off removing the upper bolts holding the middle section up and the same situation – nothing would come off – there were no release screws there either.

What now?
