My lower unit will not seperate from the drive shaft housing. :cussball: '91 Bravo 1 (sn 0D59).
Yep, 6 nuts are off and 1 bolt under trim tab (as shown in manual).
I have tried everything (within reason); wacking with a wood 6x6, prying on the thick parts, running a knife around seam to break paint,
tapping in a 1" putty knife around the seam. Doesn't seem to be stuck at the seam :bonk:
The lube looked good so I hope the drive shaft is not rusted into the gear set. I suppose I'll pull the cover and get a view from top.
Any ideas or suggestions ..... (No, I can't afford a new drive)
