How is the stator FRAME on a evinrude 30/1989 attached to the power head?

I have a 1989 evinrude 30. Got the flywheel off ,and can clearly see the timer and stator. Now, i need to know how the stator FRAME, is attached to the power head. I know about the screws holding the parts on, what's under the Frame? how do i get it off the power head? Is it just a fiction fit? It's loose and hitting the flywheel, again what holds it on the power head?
