Hi everyone, I am trying to remove the upper gearbox to put a new bellows, However this is stuck and rusted on REALLY BAD. I did remove the four bolts to the intermediate housing and the upper gear unit pulls out no problem. Any suggestions on how to remove it from the engine? Tomorrow I plan on making up a chain winch to put pressure on it in order to pull it out. Thanks everyone.

Some guys split one of the ujoints to get the upper out of the way, then go to work on the yoke...

Sorry I haven't done it myself. Is this a salt water boat?
