 Take a putty knife or a small flat blade screwdriver and gently tap it in between the gearcase body and gearcase cover. Its very much like removing a valve cover on a V8 engine.

Once its open, clean away the old gasket material and don't get any in the oil. I use Permatex formagasket or high tack gasket sealant to seal the cover back on after repairs are made. Don't over tighten the screws. You could use a silicone sealant that is oil resistant too.

If you replace the oil, not nessassary normally unless really dirty, its 50 weight non-detergent. Or Buy the FSP bottle of oil. Good luck and Merry Christmas!
