Once you remove the two bolts ,,,there shouldn't be anything else hold the bearing cap in place.

There might be a lot of sealer of some type between the cap and the block. You'll have to do the best you can with that stuff. Remove the two round packing seals from their hole.

Look here at the fourth picture from the bottom of the page and you'll see the bottom of the bearing cap.

Look here for a picture of the two round seals in the second picture from the bottom;

Good luck.
