I have a 5 hp force outboard that I was changing the water pump on and I pulled the drive shaft out on accident and the pinion fell out of place. So I drained the oil out and I tried to put it back with a extendable magnet but it just fell further in so I now I need to pull the hub. But I cant get the hub to come out. I took out the 4 screws but it wont come out. Tried heating it up with torch but still cant get it out. Not sure if I need a special puller or something? Does it just fit in there or does it screw in? I also tried shaking the lower unit upside down to get it to fall back into place but it didn't work. And also the forum wont let me upload pictures for some reason? Thanks in advance JM
