Force 85hp 1989 Lower Rear Leg Cover

[wallerb]

Trying to remove lwr unit to replace water impeller. Pblm removing rear leg cover from support plate. Two rearmost screws have a stud w a flat on one side. Tried several positions to see if rear leg cover slips off them. Thought they might be positions sensitive posts. No good. Too tight. Don't want to break. Any suggestions?<br />Thanks,<br />

Hi forced<br />Dose your manual say you have to remove this cover? From my parts guide it dosen't look like it's necessary.

Yes, had to come off. I finally broke out the dremel and cut the bolt heads off. I'll replace with new inserts and bolts.<br />Thanks,<br />Forced2It
