removing power head from 112 johnson

[66 joe]

Am I missing something here? Im trying to pull off powerhead and getting locked up on something. My brother and I were attempting to manually pull it off. Following OEM manual steps, all nuts and bolts are removed and when we pick up, we get a visual of the shaft ( about 1" total),, but seems to lock up. This week I'll borrow a cherry picker from neighbor to save the labor, but I still feel its locking up on something?!?!??!? Thanks,, Joe

Did you remove the pin that holds the shift rod in place?

Im in Chino Hills. Ill give the power head another shot in a few days, But I think Im about ready to throw in the towel. The time is becoming too much of a issue and I dont want to start something I wont have time to finish.
Do you know of any outboard rebuilders locally?
