Removing a lower unit on a 1972 omc stringer drive

[cullen493]

I am selling my 1972 omc stringer outdrive on eBay and I need to break the motor up into two (lower and upper units) in order to ship into two separate boxes. I am trying to remove the lower unit and I have removed all the bolts I am supposed to I think but it is not moving Is there any other bolts That anyone knows of or could it just be stuck from being together such a long time? here are some pictures of it.

For some reason I can't get the image I wanted to upload to show up but I will keep trying.

Please someone help the eBay auction is ending tonight and I need the lower unit separated. I have most of it off as you can see in the pictures but it seems like the front part is glued on or something I can't seem to get it off.

Have a good look at both sides of the seam. There's still a bolt in place somewhere. Do you have a manual?

gotta take the exhaust outlet and plate off- should reveal another bolt or two

I can't find a bolt anywhere but I guess I will keep looking.

take a look at these pictures I just can't find another bolt but that has got to be what it is because the front part isn't even moving but both sides of the back side are moving loosely.

Remove the trailing tab/water inlet, I think you'll find another bolt under it.
