I am trying to remove the gearcase to change the waterpump. I have the 2 bolts removed on each side of the gearcase and the nut off the bolt in the front of the gearcase . I have the upper shifts shaft retaining nut off also and the plastic keeper is off. The gear case is broke loose everwhere except at the front bolt where i took off the nut . I have sprayed it with pb blaster and letting it soak overnite . Havent been back to it yet , but if this dont work whats some more tricks to breaking this loose . This will be the first waterpump replacment on this motor . Thanks John
