how do i remove the gimbal assembly from the gimbal housing assembly?

[@michaelromer2016]

There are gimbal pivot screws on the left and right that need to be removed on the housing. Once out, remove the screw at the bottom.

@@michaelromer2016 on this diagram, www.crowleymarine.com/johnson-evinrude/parts/55333.cfm?mdl=VZOG47, im trying to remove #45 with #77 the pivot housing connected as one. i have the trim lines disconnected, shift cable, bellows and water intake hose removed. also i have the 3 screws and bracket at the bottom #30 removed. was then thinking the whole gimbal assembly would pull away. am i missing something? also have steering arm lock nuts removed how do i pull gimbal assembly and pivot housing out of the steering arm?
