Peter,
In the picture below, the circled Hex Screws came off using the tool that came with the engine (for traction tire replacement). The other screw on the main rod just needs the right size Allen Wrench. The last screw (on the Attachment Point Bracket) is a smaller Hex Screw. I have several mini screw driver sets with different tips, so I had all that I needed to do this.
Did you take the shell off the frame to get the running gear off the wheels?

Peter,

No. Take off the 5 screws and they all come off. If you want to take off the slide guide, turn the engine upside down and each in is held on by two Phillips screws that attach to the bracket I cut up above. I can show with a detailed picture if you needed it.

So the only thing you need to take the shell off for is if you want to modify the Attachment Point Bracket.
