[bbatton]

any trick to getting a stuck lower unit off Trying to change impeller but just seems to be stuck
Shift rod is disconnected ( took powerhead off < replacing) 2 bolts under cavitation plate is off 4 bolts are off just cant get the unit off.

This is on a 1989 110 Johnson.
Sprayed with PB blaster around the unit going to try again tomorrow.

Florida Saltwater......Explosives?

If the power head is off its not the drive shaft stuck in the crank, try gently tapping on the gear case sides with a soft face mallet.
