Lower Pump case

I need to replace shaft seals on my 1986 (?) M70A2 and can't remove the lower water pump case. I tried to pry it off with screwdriver slots and it does move but don't want to break anything. Suggestions?
Thanks.
 
Patience and wedges. Maybe a little penetrating oil. Try to keep it square as it comes up, to reduce jamming.
 
Paul,
Thanks for your quick reply. Your advice worked just fine.
One more question, there are 2 tiny holes thru the case which were filled in with some type of glue, should these be cleaned out?
 
Yes, probably. Could be just a sloppy gasket sealer installation. Obviously you must keep water out of the LU. Do you have a photo?
 
Paul, can't attach a photo here. Not sure why. Followed instructions from ME.com and still nothing. Can I send to your e-mail?
Doug
