1987 Evinrude 20hp Electric Starter Replacement - HELP!!

Hi Forum Guru(s)
I have a 1987 Evinrude 20hp outboard that is strong as an ox. Problem is end of last year the starter started to die, I was able to get the starter and it's bracket off the engine to replace it, but I cannot seem to see or understand how to take the starter out of the bracket. I am pretty mechanically inclined and this is baffling the begeezes out of me and with fishing maybe coming up quicker than normal, I need to get my 16foot Monark back out on the bay.

engine model is E20ELCUR.

I have searched high and low on the Interwebs and found the starter complete for under $60 brand new (awesome deal) but I just cannot see how to separate the bracket from the starter (I'm a pretty good searcher on the web as well for information - need to do it on a daily basis for work)

Help! Please!
