Maybe I'm missing a step but all the bolts, nuts are the lower unit are off and it won't pull off. Tried light tapping around parameter but still no luck. It's been some years since it's been off. Should I try heat? Is there a step I missed? Thanks!
 
you might have a bolt hidden under the tab. you might also need to disengage the shift rod up top. i have dt 55 so i am not sure about yours.
 
The shift rod needs to be disengaged. Get a manual and read it or you will cause damage. There is a hole on the starboard side of the lower engine cover. You can work through there to remove the nut, disengage the pin, and then your lower will drop free if all bolts have been removed.
 
theres one long one under the plastic screen,which is held on by the anti thrust plate and a small bolt,10 mm head.then see above posts for g/shift disconnect
