What do you secure the crankshaft with. When you turn it the whole thing turns over.

Re: 1964 Evinrude 9.5

The weight of the motor (resting on the flywheel and towel) is usually enough resistance to the back and forth turning (giggling-if you will) of the driveshaft. You'll be turning the shaft only about 1/8 of a turn, or less, each way. You shouldn't be able to develope enough force with pliers to strip the broached crank shaft end or strip the drive shaft splines. Soak the shaft/crank junction with PB Blaster and let it do it's work. Your not in a race, this can take some time, but it should break free.

Thanks for the tips. I hope this works. AS it is now there is no play whatsoever. I've got other work to do so I will hit this a couple times a day and see what happens..

Giggling or jiggling? I think the giggling comes when it finally breaks free...<br /><br />...sorry, couldn't resist!<br /><br />I have also heard you can loosen the LU bolts about 1/8 inch (with the LU attached) and run the motor, switching between fwd and rev, in water. I have not done this myself so I can't attest to it.
