Johnson 48 HP lower unit removal

[Dan Morris]

Johnson 48 HP model #J48ESLCCC (built 1988). How do you remove the lower power unit? I have removed all the bolts off the bottom.It dropped down about an inch but the drive shaft is still connected. How do I disconnect the drive shaft to totally remove the lower unit? The skeg is bent and I need to take the lower unit in so it can be straightened.

Did you disconnect the shift shaft below the carb?
