Make sure you have found all the bolts!
Also, under that casing is the alternator, it has a strong magnet, the casing will pull off by hand but be carefull of your fingers!!!
Do not hit it with a hammer as the rotor that the alternator sits inside is also part of the starter !!!

If the casing is cracked a casing from a GS550 will fit.

Don't hit it you will break things. As has been said it is the alternator and a strong magnet underneight keep prising with the screw driver you will get it efventually. If you think getting it off was hard wait till you try putting it back on.
