Here is the nuts and bolts laid out. The 2 top side nuts are off on the top left of the towel. The second photo shows the bottom case half for approximate orientation.

I hit the 2 studs in the top/middle case with the nuts Topped Off as it is force in the middle and never has a chance to damage the Case Surfaces. ........lm

I have a small finishing hammer I tap with. Then I use a scraper that I have filed/sharpened so it slides in easier and I can pry with it when I get to the thicker part of the blade. There are 2 locating dowels, one in the middle front and one in the middle rear. I have another scraper that I use so I can pry 2 different ares at the same time. I also have a rubber mallet I use if gentle persuasion is needed. Remember, be patient and try not to damage the case mating surfaces.

Just dropped off all my parts that need to be zinc plated. Should have them back in a couple weeks. The front and rear brake arms and rods are now at the chrome platers. 1-2 weeks before they are back.
