    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    My bad. I was too focused on how to remove flywheel nut with 1-5/16 socket at that time and it had to be thin wall socket…My apology and thank you again for reminding it.

    Took me a few hours to take the crank case off because “pin” was kind of stuck… Anyway, the case is off now. Any socket that I borrowed from my colleague didn’t fit to remove this rod cap bolt. Would you let me know what socket I should buy? It seems thin wall 5/16 12 point, but would like to...

    Never mind. I took it off. I think all the bolts to open up crankcase are loose now. Tomorrow, let me post some pictures of pistons, etc. Thank you !

    Those bolts came off ! Thank you ! Another question, how about this thick bolt? #52 in the screenshot below. This has to be removed also?

    Well, stupid question again. Should I remove intake manifold anyway to open up the crank case? If so, do I need to take out these two bolts ? They are pretty stubborn and I don’t want to mess with them if possible.

    Maybe…Let me go harder on it. If I still can’t pop it off, I will try wilt Kroil. Thanks !

    Flywheel’s still not popping out yet. As penetration oil, I have been applying WD-40, but it seems PB Blaster has more penetration potent. I am tempting to get one if I cannot pop the flywheel tomorrow.

    I just sprayed penetrating oil. I will let it soak overnight tonight. I tried impact wrench earlier before putting penetrating oil and no luck. I hope the flywheel comes off tomorrow ! Thank you very much for your precious advice !!!

    I see. I tried pulling off the flywheel just now, but it was not going to come off. I didn’t want to force it too much, so I stopped. Maybe should I tap the thick center bolt (I don’t know how to call it) on the puller?

    Good to know ! What do you mean by wrong puller? I have a puller for 3 bolts. The bolts that came with the puller didn’t have the appropriate thread. I will head to a store to get grade 8 bolts (not grade 5 to be on the safe side).

    I wish I had all the necessary tools like you guys at hand, but I am in the US as an expat only for a few years. So, please excuse me for some strange stuff (language, lack of tool, etc)

    I only had a quick help from a person to hoist the powerhead. Before removing the powerhead, I didn’t have a proper socket to remove flywheel (the socket that I borrowed from my colleague was too small…) Any advice is really appreciated. Thank you.

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    I am very new to this and the socket I borrowed from my colleague was too small to remove flywheel. My colleague is having a family issue so I need to work on my own for a while. Luckily I found another guy who has a hoist, so I just went ahead and remove powerhead with flywheel on. That’s why...

    Sorry. Yes. It’s intake…I completely messed up words.

    60HP 1989 Johnson outboard low compression

    Yes. The powerhead is already off from exhaust housing.

    I was going to check reed valves as well… Excuse me for the poor explanation. Reed valves look fine to me from outside. I am not going to take it off… Tomorrow 1 5/16 socket will arrive and I am removing flywheel. Very slow but progressing… Thank you very much for all the advice!
