I broke the seal from the crank and it broke everything loose except the dowel underneath the oil cooler on the lower side of the engine.

How do I pull this area apart?

After watching the video I'll say that you just need to get more aggressive.. I believe the case dowel does have it caught at that area... Use a pair of screwdrivers VERY CAREFULLY on both sides of the area that won't separate and try to spread it open with them both simultaneously.

OR use the screwdriver to load the area up and then carefully chatter against the dowel area with an air hammer and it will probably split right away... A dead blow or rubber mallet probably isn't going to do it, not enough concentrated shock load at the dowel area from those wimpy devices.. Use common sense, but grow a pair because thats the only thing thats going to get it apart.

Splitting a case is easy, I have had this happen to me on a couple of occasions but generally they fall apart and they should. Clean that dowel and it's bore really well before reassembly.
