I use a long shank #2 phillips Craftsman screw driver. I find removing the fuel tank also helpful. You will need a small flash light. There are screws under the motor blocks. However you can take the screws out by simply turning the motor block to one side. If my memory serves me right there are 12 screws that holds the body down. 4 under each motor block, 2 in the front and 2 in the back.

There are screws on the bottom of the engine. Look for deep holes and use a long philips screwdriver to get the screws loose/out.
