I have just removed the lower unit of this motor to have a look at the water pump/impellor and had some difficulty. It dropped initially about an 1/8th of an inch but I finally got it right off with bits of wood and an axe! Difficulty was that the shift shaft is stuck/rusted into the upper unit and pulled out of the lower unit as it came down. (The impellor rubber had separated from the central brass bush which was why there was no water ciculating).<br />I tried to use heat on the upper end to loosen it but the fitting there started to burn.<br />Presumably the lower unit will have to be rebuilt to put in a new shift shaft, which I can get, but first I need to get the old one out.<br />Any ideas?<br />Thanks
