I'm trying to remove the powerhead off this motor to rebuild it as a fun winter project but cannot get the powerhead to budge! All bolts are out (I have triple checked myself) and the lower unit is off to prevent any sort of hang ups. Is there any trick to budging the thing?? It's very clean and the powerhead itself will fall apart basically it's so greasy! It is a salt motor and I would assume the studs are just stuck. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Should have been 10 nuts removed, 2 in front, 4 on sides, 4 on rear. If its still stuck rock it from side to side if possible to break gasket free, apply plenty of oil to soak into salt corrosion and use heat sparingly..

I have rocked it to no prevail and I have all the bolts off with the gearcase off as well! I don't have my torch here but KROIL is some strong stuff and I have been spraying it every time I walk by it! Any other pointers would be appreciated! Thanks
