    how to remove a lower unit on a 225 E-TEC

    hey just looking for some tips on removing the lower unit I have tried to drop it but I could not get it to slide out. I didn't want to damage it so I thought I would ask on here because i am sure there is some dumb little trick that I am missing.
    the motor is a 2005 evinrude e-tec 225 h.o.
    Thanks
