There are ears on the transmission for prying it apart. You do not want to pry it apart with a crow bar or screw driver in any other place but where those points are. If you jam a screw driver or crow bar between the cases you will scratch up the mating surfaces and your transmission will leak even if you put RTV sealant on it when putting it back together. I've seen it happen before. Just an FYI for all you reading the how-to.
