You drive out the two press fit locating pins. Then, pry at the recessed pry points diagonally on the blocktop and bottom. Be certain that ALL case screws are removedincluding the two that go in opposite the others, behind the starter mount. The two lower fillister head screws must also be removed.

man up, theres good silicone in between the 2 halfs and many years of corrosing... get a bigger pry bar or a slide hammer with a 90 deg adapter..... Or make sure you have taking every single bolt needed and you didnt miss a step in the dissassembly and then MAN UP and get it apart without cracking the case...
