I tried today to get the lower unit dropped to install a new impeller. I can get the aft to start dropping, but the foward won't budge. I've removed the aft lock-nut and have the forward one 1/4 inch up, so all is clear there. I assume these are the only two things that are holding the lower unit on. The forward stud has a little corrosion around it which might be the issue, but I tapped the lower unit frame many times trying to see some type of break/separation between it and the upper unit, and on the forward side it's not budging. I've put the motor away for the night with some more Liquid Wrench applied, and will try again tomorrow.
Any ideas? Do I just simply need to "keep at it?"
Thanks!
