I have removed the fastener from the steering helmet, removed the shift cover, the shift cable, disconnected thecable from the shift mechanism, removed the locking plate, unclamped the u-joint bellows, unclamped the exhaust bellows, unclamed the water intake hose, removed the 2 socket head screws and the 2 nuts holding the upper gear housing to the intermediate housing. then used a rubber hammer for about a hour and can not seperate the two.
