Default What am I missing?

i have been reading my HD manual as my guide for tearing down my primary. I am replacing my drive belt , Clutches, etc.
I have all inner bolts out of the chain case. 2 outer bolts at the front, 2 starter bolts out from the right side, bendix is out. I have been gently tapping the case from the right side of the bike with no luck.
the only part not removed is the tensioner bracket with the 2 phyllips screws & the big tin cover that was under the compensator which sais do not hit.
I can not get the case to pop loose. Is there anything that I am missing?
Thanks! Hatch.

Did you remove your clutch nut & hub?

Those inner primaries sometimes need a good slappin' to break loose.

You betcha. I put a wheel puller on it and off it came. i also pulled the keyway key out of the way. Im going out for another look for a possible hidden bolt from the right side. I dont want to crack the case so Im a lil gun shy with the slappin part!
How many bolts hold the starter from the right side?

2 bolts hold the starter.
Did you remove the starter pinion?
