I have looked the depths of google and forums for how to get my outdrive off to do an engine swap and maintanence. Note: this outdrive may have never been pulled and hasn’t run in a few years(boot was cracked also). I purchased the Seloc guide and followed instructions and correctly have shift cable disconnected and trim disconnected + removed 6 bolts. Also it is on a built stand. Still No Free movement.
I tried the board to the transom and using the trim to pull it off. I did get more movement but when I get the trim off it comes back together. Tried to pry apart now that it seemed free. No luck
i have gotten about as far as only having a few threads on the studs before it is off, but is in a jam either topwards or from the bottom.
I am thinking maybe the driveshaft is rusted to the gimble bearing causing it not to pass a certain point? We sprayed PB Blaster inside the boot in any direction and left it overnight. We have spent about 10 hrs trying to get this.
Seperate subject,
When I spin my prop my driveshaft does not spin, no matter which way I select the gear lever.
Thanks for any help
