How do I dissasemble a toro 550 leaf blower?

No tools required for the initial step other than for prying. The five sided housing with the air-flow adjustment twists off. From the bottom larger vent slot, I unsuccessfully attempted to loosen the two visible, but unreachable, screws with an Z shaped screwdriver. Then tried using a Z-shaped flat-blade to pry the pentagon shaped housing in a counter-clockwise direction. There is an obvious location to pry when looking from the bottom side with a decent light. It took a little persuasion the firs time.
